Subversion integration

We don't support Subversion in the Sun Studio IDE because its not officially part

of NetBeans 5.5.1 which is the version of NetBeans we use in the Sun Studio 12

IDE. This doesn't meant it won't work from the Sun Studio IDE, just that we've never

tested it and make no claims.

You should be able to download the subversion module from the NetBeans update

center into a NetBeans 5.5.1 release. After that, it should be available in Sun Studio.

By the way, you mentioned you were a Sun Studio Express user. Sun Studio 12

has now been released (its free:-) and the IDE has been significantly improved since

the early beta which went out in February. You can download it from the download

page on http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio. It makes use of the released version

of NetBeans 5.5.1 instead of the preliminary version in ss express.

I had the same requirement and issue. Since I didn't see a follow-up, here's what I did. I believe the solution is to add the netbeans 5.5.1 update site to sunstudio. This procedure is described somewhere in the netbeans docs online.

Tools->Options->Advanced Options->System->Autoupdate Types

Right-click on Autoupdate Types -> New->General Update Center and give it a name and then Finish. When you view its properties, the default Server URL is for a "dev" update site. I changed dev_ to 551_ to match versions (but I don't know if this is necessary, but its what the generic netbeans download has).

Tools->Update Center should show this site and after updating, list Subversion somewhere in the Available Update view.
