Hi all,
a quick update ... I'm re-creating from scratch some of mine eclipse
workspaces, with a fresh new eclipse-3.7.1 installation ... I
recommend (maybe just after our finalization of 2.0.1) to switch to
eclipse-3.7.1 because it's a great (stable, etc) release, it starts to
support Java 7 (and in my case I'll start to make it run with a JDK 7
and in another installation with latest JDK 6), and it has many
plugins (for example latest Groovy, Scala, Maven, etc), the compiler
find more things in code, etc ...
So in a few weeks I'll update eclipse config files to use them.
But of course this is just a reccommendation, no problem with anyone
that doesn't want to update.

I have just updated inside it even the Subversion plugin to the latest
1.7.x Subversion (in the update url the plugin has 1.8.x instead of
the usual 1.6.x).
Make some test and all seems to work. Steps needed are:
- uninstall existing subversion (if present)
- install new from the new update site, then restart
- (optional) restart eclipse with the -clean argument in command line
- refresh all projects, the team/update, refresh, team/cleanup, refresh ...

All changed files should only be related to local copy, but I'd like
to share with all us these steps, in case is useful to someone.


Note that I'm planning to do the same even for my workspaces
containing pivot-related apache-extras projects ... so any user that
has commit right there to update too (if possible), at least the
subversion plugin.
So for example at the moment is would be great if even guretzki and
dreamtangerine could make the update too.


Note that Apache SVN is already a 1.7.x version (I think today thery
are updating to 1.7.1), so in any case this shoudn't give problems.
I don't know on Apache-Extras what version they have, but could be
even a 1.7.x ... since today I committed/synchronized many files there
and I got no problem ... at least until now :-) .

One great improvement of Subversion 1.7 is for example that it now
creates only one .svn folder (and no more one per folder under source
control).

Tell me what you think, or at least if someone find problems.

Bye,
Sandro
