Cool - subclipse that is. I'm installing it now!

Just FYI, the new IDL Workbench (part of IDL7.0) has built-in support
for version history. Once you have the new IDL Workbench, you can also
download a CVS plug-in from the ITTVIS update site, and there are also
plug-ins for Subversion and Perforce:

http://www.perforce.com/perforce/products/p4wsad.html

I strongly recommend using Subversion over CVS. Subversion has
basically all the same commands that CVS does, but it fixes all the
annoyances that CVS had.

The Subversion plugin (Subclipse) can be added to the IDL Workbench.
The plugin adds a GUI interface for dealing with Subversion. The
command line is not that hard to use, though.

Sounds like you need some sort of version control system like Subversion or CVS (and there
are others). That will enable you to keep completely separate versions of the same code
lying around.

What you describe is a typical sort of pattern for a release branch (just maintenace of
Tool_ver4 code) and a development trunk (active development leading to an eventual
Tool_ver5) and I doubt that whatever tool you are using now (the IDL IDE?) is up to the task.

I use subversion. Check out http://svnbook.red-bean.com Chap4 deals with branching and
merging.

OK, I've heard so much about Subversion I decided to install it
and see what this is all about. I'm running IDL 7.0 on Windows XP Pro
with all the latest security patches, etc.

I go to the Subversive page, as described above. I find directions
for installing the Eclipse plug-in:

http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/documentation/gettingStart ed/aboutSubv
ersive/install.php

I am instructed to add a New Update Site. I successfully add
Subversive, with the "proper URL" :

http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/downloads.php

Next, I am suppose to add Subversive SVN Connectors. However,
it has the *same* "proper URL" as the first site, and Eclipse
won't allow me to enter it.

OK, the heck with it, I think. I'll just download what I can.
So I hit the Finish button and Eclipse goes off to find the site.
But, it reports a "Network connection problem". It seems it is
unable to access the URL above because "The XML stream is not a
valid default 'site.xml' file."

Am I doing something wrong, or have I not quite learned how to
read between the lines enough to install this kind of software?

Cheers,

David

Yeah - committing files is kind of a pain. I'd like to just right-
click and select "commit". Instead, it right-click, Team->Commit.
Just a thorn in my side that "commit" is "right there".
