RE: [Flashcoders] FDT, version control and project files

[Chris Foster]

I work with a team of 3 developers and 4 designers. The developers all
use the FDT Eclipse plugin version, and we use Subclipse to manage our
Subversion repos.

We never commit our project files (mainly to stop noobs from
accidentally changing project settings unintentionally) and all our
compilation and deployment is done from ANT scripts.

The designers usually install Tortoise SVN client and (usually after a
few mistakes) are competent enough to leave on their own.

Subject: [Flashcoders] FDT, version control and project files

Hey guys,

Been a while since I posted here. I'm going to assume that you are all
still
alive and that not everyone has quit coding with actionscript and
started
using HTML5 for your website banner builds just yet...

Anyway, I have a question about FDT and version control:

What are people doing regarding working with teams of developers and
using
SVN in FDT?

The new version of FDT has now removed its out of the box for
subversive,
which, although it has (many many) faults, is pretty much the best of a
bad
bunch when it comes to IDE integrated SVN.

Anyway, I was wondering whether people have any thoughts on the
(related)
issue of working in teams and controlling your projects. Do you ignore
the
project files completely and let each developer do what he or she likes
with
them? Do you agree on a standard configuration? Or do you add your
project
files to svn and check out an FDT project via the import... project
from
SVN route?

This third approach is what I usually do, and it's great for teams of
developers about 99% of the time. However, that 1% of times when you
have a
version control problem, it's REALLY a problem. Your entire team grinds
to a
halt, you can't commit, everything goes basically pear shaped.

Anyway, I was wondering is anyone has come up with a better solution
than
just using a seperate SVN client and manually managing all their files.
Subversive has some very useful features and it's really nice once you
get
used to it. And I'm used to it. I guess I'm just set in my ways.

Thanks in advance

Hey Alias,

At my current place of work, we almost always use SVN to control our
projects.  Lately, we have started to noticed that the SVN plugin with FDT
3.5 is subpar and likes crap on us often. So some of the guys have started
using CornerStone to handle the SVN stuff.  I feel it's alot easier to use
and more intuitive.  Also has a couple of extra features that come in handy.
 When FDT can't handle the SVN, it's either Cornerstone or Terminal.

The only time we do not use SVN is if it's a very small and tight deadline
project, where only one developer will be working on it.  Only then it seems
as an overkill to setup an SVN for that particular project.
