The version of Eclipse current at the time this was last updated is Luna. It comes with Maven support built in by default, but the support for Subversion is now an option because Git has become more popular. The "Subversive" project is part of Eclipse and can be installed from Help - Install New Software. Software from third parties can be installed with Help - Eclipse Marketplace.
At Yale, you should:
- Install After installing "Subversive" from New Software, the first time you reference SVN support, it try to use SVN (by opening the SVN Repository Exploring perspective), Eclipse will pop up a window asking you to select an interface library option. Choose the lastest version of SVNKit (a pure Java solution for communication with the SVN server) rather than using external command tools.
- Install the "JBoss Tools" for your release of Eclipse using Eclipse . This contains a Tool Bar control for starting and stopping a JBoss server and debugging JBoss applications inside Marketplace. Make sure you select Tools and not Developer Studio, which is a complete replacement version of Eclipse.
- If you are using Tomcat instead of JBosstoo, install Mongrel to get Tool Bar icons to start and stop Tomcat.
- Optionally you might want to install the Spring Tool Suite for your release of Eclipse.
