[kepler-dev] [Ptolemy] Conversion of Ptolemy II Tree to SVN this week

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Jia,

I will be taking the ptII CVS repository _OFFLINE_ at about 8am
PDT on Wednesday.  After that time, no one will have access to
it.  To update, you must use Subversion.  

To use subversion with Eclipse, use the Subclipse plugin.

I've updated $PTII/doc/coding/Eclipse.htm with instructions
about how to install Subclipse.

If the doc is unclear, please fix it.

I did not look at Subversive, I went with Subeclipse because
it is on the same site as the Subversion and worked for me.
If someone wants to A/B Subclipse and Subversion, then that
would be great.

    Hi Christopher, Jackie, and others,
    >From what I heard here at IBM, where Subclipse is widely used, there are
    many subtle functionalities Subclipse does not implement correctly, and thu

    many researchers here use command line to run subversion instead of
    Subclipse.
    So could you post a tutorial on how we can run subversion both on eclipse
    and command line?
    I didn't hear anything about Subversive.
