New to Versioning - Need help selecting
Hi-
I'm new to versioning and am trying to choose a package to use for Java
development at a USGS branch. We use the JDeveloper IDE for
development, which has built-in extensions for CVS and Oracle's SCM.
It seems clear that there are shortcomings in CVS. It also seems that
Oracle is not recommending it's own SCM for JDeveloper. So, I'm
looking...
Subversion sounds great, but without a plugin for the IDE usage seems
impracticle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but would Subversion require me
to do an svn add/delete/move/copy for *every* file that I need to do
this type of operation to? In the process of developing a web
application, I can easily add/delete/move/copy 20-30 files a day! Is
there any way to check out a copy, add/delete/move files via
non-subversive methods, then have those changes ripple up to the
repository?
Thanks in Advance,
Eric Everman

There's a subversion plugin for the Eclipse IDE that claims to do
what you want. Flakey in my experience, but YMMV.

TortoiseSVN may fit you if your dev. platform is Windows.
Integrates nice with Explorer & automatically processes added/deleted files.
I'm using it for non-Java projects. I use NetBeans+svn module+command line for
Java projects. The only thing you need to check with your IDE is how it
processes 'special' folders (.svn)? You should be able to exclude them from,
e.g., WAR.

People for ages have been using Command Line to perform operations on CVS and
now, on SVN.
you could use svn add new_dir/*.html ; svn commit -m "New files" for example..
Wildcards are allowed.
Besides that, you could use a Dav explorer to a SVN-Dav server with
Autoversioning. In this mode, you don't need to use svn
add/delete/move/copy/commit/checkout commands. At least for
uploading/upgrading documents.
But you'll need them to retrieve old versions.
SVN is flexible enough to allow a lot of configurations.
