Eclipse has great integration with subversion. I have been using subversion for my personal sorce control for a few weeks now. It is working out great. I have been a strong perforce fan, but it is only free for 2 users – ~$750/ user for ‘real’ life w/ perforce. SourceSafe is the devil. ClearCase is the devil. CVS I have had issues with enough. Subversion it is…

Just a few niceties:
In the main workspace area – you can browse the structure of your current workspace file and get a nice diff against the repository file. This is great to have IN the IDE. Subversion is great – you normally do it from the command line – but having the high intagration with the IDE is really great – down to the diff.

It is also nice and easy to simply browse a repository and see what is there.

All in all – this is a great TOTALLY FREE solution for source control – and it is integrated right into the IDE. I am continually impressed by how far they have taken Eclipse. I will go into the latest edition of Ruby Eclipse next….

   I think it is more about the beauty of opensource and Java.
