Working with Subversion in NetBeans


NetBeans has Subversion features integrated into the IDE.

Prerequisites

The team manager must have given you permission to access your Trac project.
The configuration manager must have done the initial repository setup.
Login to your team Trac site with your Cal Poly username/password. Click the Browse Source tab. Observe the folders in the repository.
In the directions below, TRACNAME should be replaced by the name of your Trac project that was issued to you by the instructor.

Checkout the repository into NetBeans.

  1. Start NetBeans.
  2. From the menubar select Versioning > Subversion > Checkout.
    In the Checkout dialog, enter
    Repository URL: https://wiki.csc.calpoly.edu/svn/TRACNAME/trunk
    User/Password. 
  3. Click Next. (Observe "connecting to Subversion Repository" progress bar).
  4. In the Folders to Checkout dialog, enter
