This is definitely worth a look. It aims to replace CVS and has a much superior design and much more features (WebDAV, versioning of metadata and directories, ...). You can convert existing CVS repositories and the commands are the same (where it makes sense). It's currently in alpha state, but subversion is selfhosting for nearly a year now and the beta version should come out later this year. > > * IDE: > > Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/) Plugin-based general purpose IDE with plugins for Java development. IBM Websphere Application Developer is based on it. There are also plugins for C/C++ (Linux), a graphical editor framework and many for Java development, testing, deployment, ... It uses SWT as an alternative to AWT or Swing which uses the native widgets and thus is much faster than the other Swing-based IDEs. > > Netbeans (http://www.netbeans.org/) Similar to eclipse. It exists much longer and thus has more features built-in. It serves as the basis for Suns Forte for Java (now Sun ONE Studio Developer).

They released version 0.11.1 two weeks ago and there were 7 releases this year. They also have now a plug-in architecture (which Poseidon for UML had before) which can be used to develop third party extensions (e.g. round trip engineering, ...) and features now deployment diagrams. > www.gentleware.com.
