Using SVN or source control inside eclipse for beginners

I am now learning the basics of source control using tortoise SVN. I want to use SVN instead of the (manually made) multiple copies of my code. I need your help with some questions-

1 - Is it possible to do SVN inside eclipse itself or maybe integrate eclipse with some SVN software ? If yes, would this be a good approach ?

2- Can the USE of SVN cause new errors or issues besides the many compiler errors that one already has to deal with ?

3- Which is better Tortoise SVN or Tortoise HG ?

Thanks.

1) There are two Eclipse integrations for SVN: Subversive and Subclipse. I recently used Subversive but both are more or less equal and work quite well.

2) If you use it correctly, you shouldn't have to deal with more errors. But using a version control system like Subversion is a bit more complicated than not using one :-)

3) Tortoise SVN is used to work with the Subversion repositories while Tortoise HG is used for Mercurial repositories. These are two different things! If you want to work with Subversion you can not use Tortoise HG.
