I just installed Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers on my Ubuntu system. Is SVN already part of the Eclipse package?
If not,
How do I install SVN from Eclipse - so that I could create a new project from files checked out from a repository?
Do I need to download and install a subclipse package from tigris? Can't I do it from within Eclipse itself?
Here you go http://subclipse.tigris.org/ . This is the SVN integration project for Eclipse.
yes you can do it from within eclipse. go to help->install new software and put this url http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x in the address field.
Addition to the answer @Alin has provided, I can note that most Eclipse plug-ins are available by choosing "install new software" option under the help menu.
