Maven & SVN Plugins for Eclipse Galileo

Today I installed the Maven M2 and Subversive Plugins in my Eclipse Galileo Installation.

This is a little bit tricky because the M2 Plugin needs some additional Plugins if the Plugin should work together with the Subversion Plugin Subversive.

These are the steps I go through the Eclipse Update Manager to get all things work:

First I added the Suversive SVN Team Provider provided from the Galileo Download Site. This Site is available in the Eclipse "Install new Software" Dialog. Select the Option:

"Collaboration->Suversive SVN Team Provider"

 

After restarting Eclipse the SVN Plugin will ask for a Subversive Connector. This is a new cool feature so you did not add an Updite URL for these plugins manually. I selected only the option SVN Kit 1.3.0:

 

...the wizard will select two additional plugins to be installed next...

 

In the next step I added an additional Plugin which is needed to get a better Maven/SVN Integration.

Therefore I added in the Eclipse Install Dialog the following new Update site:

 http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/

From This site I selected only(!) the Plugin 

"Subversive SVN Team Provider (Incubation)"

 

 After Restarting Eclipse I add now the "SVN Maven Support" provided by the following Update Site:

http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/integrations/update-site/

This is an additional Plugin needed to get better SVN Support. I select the "Subversive Integration for the M2Eclipse Project" Plugin:


Now finally its time to add the Maven Integration Plugin itself form the Update Site:

 http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/

You should not(!) select the Maven SCM Integration if you followed my recommanded installation steps.

So I select the MavenEmbeder, Pom Editor and Maven Central Repository:


 

 After restarting Eclipse Galileo once more you can now Checkout a Maven Project from any SVN Repository with the option "Check out as maven Project..."  and use the M2 Integration Plugin Features like the POM Editor.

 

 

If anybody knows an easier way to get Maven and SVN Integration for Eclipse Galileo installed please let me know...

Eclipse Galileo and the Glassfish Server Plugin

For some reasons it is not possible to install and add the Glassfish Server Adapter in Eclipse Galileo with the Buildin Wizard form the "New Server" Wizzard (Function - "Download additional server")

 But you can add the Glassfish Server Adapter easily with the "Help->Install new Software" Dialog, using this additional Download URL:
