Installing Subversive on Eclipse

I ran into a problem with installing Subversive (An eclipse plugin that interfaces to Subversion). The issue is that the plugin comes in 2 pieces that are both required: the Subversive plug-in and the Subversive SVN Connectors plug-in. This was not obvious to me and I ran into this problem not once but twice.

The solution is to add these 2 update sites (current as of Apr 2nd, 2009):

• http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/
• http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/

And install the following features from them:

• Subversive SVN Team Provider (from the http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/ site)
• Subversive SVN Connectors (from the http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/ site)
• SVNKit 1.2.2 Implementation (from the http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/ site)

The error message in the eclipse logs was as follows when I failed to add the site for and install the “Subversive SVN Team Provider”. I hope this will help people find this and not have the same problems I did.
