Configuring an SVN Connection

 

This procedure describes how to configure a connection to an SVN repository.

Before you can add projects to or export projects from SVN, you must define your SVN repository settings.

 

Prerequisite: To access a repository, make sure that an SVN server is already configured.

 

Instructions on how to complete a procedure

To add a new SVN repository:

  1. Open the SVN perspective by going to Window | Open Perspective | Other | SVN Repository Exploring.

  2. In the SVN Repositories view, click the Add SVN Repository button on the view's toolbar -or- right-click within the SVN view and select New | Repository Location.
    The Add SVN Repository dialog will open.

  1. Enter the information required to identify and connect to the repository location:
