Checkout an SVN Project using Subversive in Eclipse

Question

So I'm able to pull the files out of the svn but I'm unable to get Eclipse to understand these files are part of an SVN.

I have TortoiseSVN install on the system as well, and I'm wondering if that is causing an issue?

Base question, how can I using Eclipse and Subversive checkout a project from my SVN repo?

Answer 1

Either: File > New > Project > SVN > Project from SVN

Or (I like this one better): Go to the "SVN Repository Exploring" View > right click on your project's folder (trunk, for example) > Check Out (or Find/Check Out As...)

Answer 2

Use subclipse. Its excellent and you can install it directly from eclipse using the appropriate update site. I prefer it to the subversive plugin and TortoiseSVN.
