I thought I would share a quick overview of using Subclipse on Windows and one particular step that took a lot of digging around to find that lets you install it. On Windows Flex Builder 2 uses the Eclipse 3.2.x platform which is not compatible with the latests release of Subversion. To install subversion, you need to install from the 1.x branch using the following url:

http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.0.x

In Flex Builder, select Software Updates -> Find and Install from the Help Menu. You will need to add a new remote update site to install Subeclipse from, by clicking New Remote Site, giving it the name Subeclipse and entering the update URL above.

Click Finish, and after a little updating you will be asked to select what to install, on selecting Subeclipse you may get the following error:

Subclipse (1.2.0) requires plug-in org.eclipse.core.resources (3.2.0), or later version.
The key here, is to unselect: Show the latest version of a feature only. as shown below:

 

LiveValidation in action

With this done, you can select the latest 1.x version of subeclipse and it should install fine.

If you are behind a proxy, you will need to add the following lines to your servers file, located in C:\\Document and Settings\\<username>\\Application Data\\Subversion :

  1. http-proxy-host = <proxy server address>
  2. http-proxy-port = <proxy server port>
  3. http-proxy-username = <proxy username>
  4. http-proxy-password = <proxy password>

You can now checkout a project by New -> Other from the FIle menu and selecting SVN -> Checkout Project from SVN
