11/25/2004: "Subclipse on the Mac"
I had a scare when I installed Subclipse on my shiny new Mac PowerBook: it didn't work at all. I couldn't even open the SVN Repository Explorer perspective, because of this error:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException[0]: org.tigris.subversion.svnclientadapter.SVNClientException: No subversion client interface found.No client found?! But I'd installed
svn-client using fink!
A little searching led me to install the Subversion client package from metissian.com. I downloaded it, installed it, and it works. I installed the new version (1.1.1) at /usr/local/bin and removed the old version using fink from /sw/bin. Finally, I added /usr/local/bin to the system PATH, launched Eclipse and everything works.
It's so nice to have Subclipse back! As good as Subversion is, running it from the command line seems downright archaic compared to using the Eclipse integration.
