Eclipse and SVN Client

I choose Subclipse as my favorite SVN Client plugin for Eclipse. Why? Because most people use it. To install it go here

To start working open Eclipse, go to Window -> Show View -> Other, open up the SVN Folder and pick the SVN Repository, click on the "Add SVN Respository" button and enter the address of your SVN server (svn:// or svn+ssh:// or http:// ot https://). That's it.

Few basic commands (abstract from SVN online book):
The typical work cycle looks like this:

1. Update your working copy.
• svn update

2. Make changes.
• svn add
• svn delete
• svn copy
• svn move

3. Examine your changes.
• svn status
• svn diff

4. Possibly undo some changes.
• svn revert

5. Resolve conflicts (merge others' changes).
• svn update
• svn resolve

6. Commit your changes.
• svn commit

Eclipse error: Error retrieving feature.xml

Using Software Updates and then Find and install

1. Delete the site.xml file in your Eclipse directory.
2. Run Help->Software Updates->Find and install, the error will not appear.
If the plugin has the official site, from where you can install it in Eclipse using Help->Software Updates->Find and install, I suggest that you should not download it yourself and unzip it into your Eclipse directory.

Preparing Eclipse 3.x for ColdFusion Development

CFEclipse - An Eclipse plugin for ColdFusion

The best plugin I found, for Eclipse IDE. Simply it gears Eclipse with all-you-need for CF development: color-coding, content outline, code & bracket highlighting, code folding, tag code completion, snippets, etc... full feature list

Uber fast install:

1. Select the "Help->Software Updates->Find and install" menu option
2. On the screen that is displayed, select 'Search for new features to install' and click the 'Next' button
3. Now click the 'New Remote Site' button
4. Enter a name for the update site, for example "CFEclipse". In the URL box, enter "http://www.cfeclipse.org/update" and click the OK button

Note: This is the moment when you are going to install CFUnit too.
