1- Introduction
-
The document is based on:
-
-
Eclipse 4.6, 4.7 (NEON, OXYGEN)
-
2- The installation requires
-
This is a working model for Java team using
Eclipse and
SVN:
-
-
VisualSVN Server
-
-
To get
SVN Repository, you need to install a
SVN Server like
Visual SVN on some computer, and it will be a
SVN server. You can see the instruction of installing and configuring
Visual SVN at:
-
-
-
Subversive
-
-
Next,
Subversive must be installed on each
Eclipse program of each member. You can see the instruction at:
-
-
3- Share Project to SVN Repository
-
First, a member needs to share the code of the initial project on
SVN Repository.
-
The below image illustrates 3 projects available on a computer of a member. We will share these three projects on
SVN Server.
-
-
On
Visual SVN, a
Repository named as
JavaProjects has been created.
-
-
Copy URL:
-
-
Copy URL of the
SVN Repository.
-
- https://TRAN-VMWARE/svn/JavaProjects/
-
You can change the name server by IP address.
-
-
-
Back to Eclipse.
-
We will share 2 Project:
ProjectController &
ProjectModel into Repository
JavaProjects:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Project 2:
ProjectController &
ProjectModel has been shared on
SVN Repository.
-
-
Whenever you want to continue to share other Projects on the same available Repository (For example,
JavaProjects), we will go on sharing
ProjectView Project on SVN Repository
JavaProjects
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Project
ProjectView shared on
Repository.
-
-
See in
Visual SVN Server:
-
-
4- Checkout Project from SVN Repository
-
Other members in the group will checkout Projects from
Repository to our own computer.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Suppose that we only checkout 2 Project, other Project will checkout laster.
-
-
-
2 Project was checkout.
-
-
We continue to checkout other Projects (For example, it has just been shared by someone in the group).
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
5- Commit and Update
-
Checkout is to extract the whole of data from one or more Projects shared in
Repository to the local computer (When the local computer does not have that Project). Then the data are modified in the local computer. Use the
Commit function to bring the modified data to
Repository. And use the
Update function to extract the modified data.
-
Now we modify (or add) files on Projects, and
Commit them to
Repository.
-
-
-
-
To bring modified data to
SVN Repository, right-click on Project or select the modified file, click
Team/Commit.
-
-
-
-
Data were Commited to
SVN Repository.
-
-
In Eclipse of the other members, can use the Update function to update the changes
-
Note: In some case, when Commit is notified with error, you need to Update before Commit.
-
6- The basic functions
-
SVN has many functions illustrated as the below image:
-
-
We will learn about how to use some important functions.
-
-
6.1- Add to svn:ignore
-
When you want
SVN to ignore and not to bring a folder or a file to
SVN Repository, you can use the function:
Add to svn:ignore
-
-
For example, you have a folder containing data files you don't want to share as the below illustrated image:
-
-
Right-click the folder mynote, select
Team/Add to svn:ignore
-
-
-
If Commit failed as shown below:
-
-
In this case you need to update the project before Commit.
-
6.2- Revert
-
Revert is used to return the initial data. For example, when you modify data of some files, revert helps return the file to its initial state.
-
-
6.3- Lock & Unlock
-
You are modifying some files in local. During the modification, if you don't want anyone in the group to
Commit data of these files to
Repository, you can use the Lock function to lock it. After the modification is finished, you can Commit and use the Unlock function to unlock the file.
-
-
6.4- Cleanup
-
You modify some files and
Commit to
SVN Repository, but you will receive a notice of error if one of these files is being
locked by someone. Cleanup helps free from forced lock. You cannot use the
Unlock function in this case since it can be used by the person who
locks file.
-
-
6.5- Disconnect
-
Your project is connected to the
SVN Repository.
-
When looking at Project folder on hard disk, you will see that each folder contains a
.svn hidden folder. These folders contain state information and data of files of SVN (It is alike a local repository).
-
-
-
Right-click on a Project and select
Team/Disconnect to disconnect with
SVN Repository.
-
-
There are two choices for the Disconnection:
- Disconnect parallel to delete SVN meta-information
- This selection means to erase .svn hidden folders in all folders of Project. This situation does not allow to reconnect, except for erasing Project on hard disk and checking out again.
- Or only disconnect.
- This selection simply means to disconnect. SVN meta-information is still retained.
-
Here I illustrate the use of option 2:
-
-
-
You can reconnect, right-click on the selected Project, select:
Team/Share Project...
-
-
