loading a particular tag's collection in MyEclipse 9.1
Hello, there, I am just joining this group. I am working for a state
agency's IT operation that is a worst practices kind of place. I am
attempting to drag them into the 1980s, and perhaps from there, into
the 1990s.
We currently use MyEclipse 9 for development, with subclipse and
Subversion for source control. We make NO use of branching; all
development is on the trunk, and there is no use of tags to keep track
of revisions of our application. (I could tell you how we develop
software in detail, but the horror of it all would be too painful, and
irrelevant to my question.)
Previously, I have used SCCS, RCS, SourceSafe, and ClearCase, and none
of these were from inside an IDE, so parts of this process are new to
me. I have figured out what I need to do to create branches, rebase
from trunk to branch, merge from branch back to trunk. From inside
MyEclipse, this was a bit less obvious than I had hoped, but with a
little experimentation, I have figured it out.
Now, I have one remaining problem: I can create a tag just fine: right
click on a package in Package Explorer, Team, Tag, and enter a tag
name. If I understand tags correctly, they are roughly equivalent to
a label in ClearCase--they identify a particular collection of
revisions that are not going to change. Typically, you use tags to
indicate V1.2, V1.2.1, V1.2.2, V1.3, V2.0, V.2.0.1 and so on. This
allows you to load a particular version's files into MyEclipse so that
you can debug version that is now in the field, and is misbehaving.
Here's my problem: how, in MyEclipse, do I say, "load a particular
tag's collection of files"? I thought that it might be Team, Switch,
then browse to a particular tag. But that does not seem to work. I
can see the repository; I can see trunk, branches, and tags folders in
that repository. The first time that I browse to the repository, the
tags folder has a + sign before it, and if I click the + sign to
expand it, I VERY briefly see the tags--and then they disappear. And
the + sign before tags folder disappears as well.

It sounds like you are using Subversive and not Subclipse. Add
Revision Link is not a Subclipse option.

I am using Subclipse 1.6. When I right click on a tag in the SVN
Repository Exploring
perspective, I do not see anything that seems to be checkout. I see:
New
Open
Open With
Copy
Cut
Paste (grayed out)
Delete
Copy URL
Refactor
Show History
Show Annotation...
Show Properties
Show Revision Graph...
Create Patch...
Add Revision Link...
Export...
Break Lock (grayed out)
Compare With
Refresh
Is it possible that MyEclipse does not support some features of
Subclipse 1.6?

I don't know MyEclipse, but use normal Eclipse with Subclipse and I
have the perspective "SVN Repository Exploring" where I can browse a
repository and at least checkout a new project from a directory within
the repository.

Your questions seem more specific to the Subclipse client. You should
probably raise this discussion in the Subclipse users forum where you
can get help from other Subclipse users:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/ds/viewForumSummary.do?dsForumId=1047
I would want more details about the tags you are creating. It does
not sound like you are making "Subversion tags", which are basically
the same as branches.
Perhaps you are using this special feature that only applies to Subclipse?
http://subclipse.tigris.org/branch_tag.html
This is more of a revision alias feature. The tags you identify with
that feature should still show up as selectable options in the Switch
dialog though. Note that when using this feature the dialog gets a
special branches and tags UI for these aliases that is distinct from
the branches and tags folders that might also appear in the repository
browser. So you would need to expand the right tags grouping to see
these tags.
