I have used Subversion version control for a while now, and just started using WSAD. I wanted Subversion functionality in the IDE, and here are the steps to get it working.

Subclipse is an Eclipse plugin that adds an SVN Repository perspective. To install in a WSAD 5.x environment, follow these steps:

• Quit WSAD
• Download Subclipse
• Extract the ZIP file to c:temp
• Move the extracted DLL’s to the Eclipse root. In my installation it is C:Program FilesIBMWebSphere StudioApplication Developerv5.1eclipse
• Move the extracted directories in the plugin directory to the Eclipse plugin directory. In my installation, this is C:Program FilesIBMWebSphere StudioApplication Developerv5.1eclipseplugins
• Download and install Subversion
• Make sure your PATH environment variable contains the directory where SVN.exe is, in my case C:Program FilesSubversionbin
• Start WSAD
• Open menu ”Window”, ”Open Perspective”, ”Other…” and select ”SVN Repository Exploring”, click ”OK”
• If you have made everything as I explained, WSAD now opens SVN Repository Explorer, and you can right click on that pane and choose ”New”, ”Repository Location…”
