Thanks for the tip on the cfeclipse list, Charlie. I've already signed up.
On the matter of SVN and checking code in and out, because I see so much discussion that involved both Eclipse/CFEclipse and SVN, I have been assuming they were part of the same package. Thanks for clearing that up. I've been on the Eclipse/CFEclipse site and done some reading, but it's amazing how misconceptions persist. As far as installing it, I'm asking my final "preparation" questions before making the leap. Yes, I can install and uninstall, but I hate doing that too much on my system. Parts are always left behind somewhere after uninstalling. And there's always the risk of a system becoming unstable/usable for whatever reason when anything is installed. Just trying to be cautious, trying to "look before leaping"...
