Introduction

Any serious development effort requires some type of version control software such as Subversion (SVN). Eclipse has excellent SVN support through the Subclipse plugin. In this document we will see how a new Eclipse project can be checked into an SVN repository, and give some tips for organizing your repository.

If you are to learn one thing from this guide it is that you should think carefully about commiting IDE-specific files.

Installing Subclipse

First we install the Subclipse plugin into Eclipse to enable SVN support. This plugin includes the Subversion client, and integrates SVN into the Eclipse interface.

1) Open the Eclipse Marketplace through Help -Eclipse Marketplace.

2) Search for Subclipse, and click Install.

3) Select all available Subclipse modules for installation, and accept the license agreement. Choose to restart Eclipse when prompted.

Connecting to Your Repository

With Subclipse installed we can now connect to an SVN repository, check out code, commit changes, and more of that good stuff. Subclipse provides several new views that will help us with these SVN tasks.

1) Go to Windows -> Views -> Other to open a list of all available views. …

If you have several wired and/or wireless interfaces, the default Ubuntu network-manager program will manage them all. To make the network manager ignore an interface, you must edit the /etc/network/interfaces file.

The /etc/network/interfaces file contains network interface configuration information for the both Ubuntu and Debian Linux. This is where you configure how your system is connected to the network.

Look at your current interfaces:

$ ifconfig

To make network-manager ignore wlan0:

$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

And add the line:

iface wlan0 inet manual

The manual keyword denotes that network-manager should ignore the interface. After a reboot, the network manager will show device not managed for wlan0.…
