How do I use an external source code control system (CVS, SVN, EGIT) from the workbench?
Altair EmployeeFor installing SVN plug-in, we would suggest you to check the below webpage and follow the instructions to install SVN into eclipse.
https://eclipse.dev/subversive/
For installing EGIT plugin, please refer the following steps:
Go to Help in Workbench, click on Install New Software. Type the URL (https://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-6.2/) (5.13 is known to be compatible with SLC 4.4, and 6.2 is known to be compatible with SLC v2023) in Work with window and click on Add.
You need to select "Git integration for Eclipse". Further select the following & click on Finish:
a. Do select "Git integration for Eclipse" but within that, unselect "Git integration for Eclipse - Source Code".
b. Don't select "Git integration for Eclipse - additional features".
c. Do select "Git integration for Eclipse - dependencies".
d. Don't select "Java implementation of Git".
For CVS and other plug-ins, follow the below steps:
When the Workbench is running:
- Go to Help->Install New Software
- Type "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo" into the 'Work With' text box and press return.
- The Workbench will interrogate the website and come back with a list of available plugins (it may take a minute or two to do this)
- In the filter text type 'cvs' (or 'svn' etc) this should narrow the selections down
- Pick the required project(s) or use Select All if there is only one and click next and next again
- Agree with the EULA and then it will be installed (may take a few minutes)
- It should ask you to restart the workbench, accept this
- Go to File->New Project and you will see a CVS option (or SVN option), selecting that should open a project type
- Further forms follow to connect to an existing CVS repository or server
