Folks,
I had heard that IDL 8.1 had source control management
plug-ins for Subversion and other management tools, but
I can find no mention of this anywhere in the documentation.
Does anyone know how to use or install these tools
in the Workbench? Does anyone know where some documentation
about this process might be?
Thanks.
Cheers,
David

Well, I am trying to keep everything of a piece. :-)
Dick Jackson gave me a tip that appears to have worked.
Apparently, once you have installed the Subversion
plug-in, it is not possible (at least no one I know has
been successful) to import a directory from a repository.
But, if you import a directory in some other way
(I used TortoiseSVN), then you make a project in
IDL out of that directory, the Subversion plug-in
does seem to work in this case. At least when I open
the project up I can see the repository connected to
the project, and what must be version numbers associated
with each file. I haven't yet tried to check a change
in, but maybe today.
I am *trying* to use IDL 8.1, but it's an effort. This
version does appear to be more stable on my Windows
machine (they have again separated the JAVA and IDL
processes on Windows machines, which was the source of
so much fragility in IDL 8.0), but I am still struggling
with annoyances. The Compile/Run buttons don't work,
for example, if you run a main-level program with an
error in it. And I have struggled to make sense of how
to set and remove breakpoints. They seem to have a mind
of their own, and not a very big mind at that. :-(
Cheers,
David

Hi Scott,
I appreciate your help with this.
The only one of these folders that was in the .idl/itt directory
was the p2 folder, which I deleted.
When I restarted IDL, I could then get to the connector dialog
and I selected the two choices there for the version of
Subversion (1.6) I have on my machine. I got the same
error message when I installed yesterday (e.g., "something" is missing).
So, I deleted the Windows only connector and asked the dialog
to carry on. This seems to have installed something, because
now I have a repository viewer in my Workbench, etc.
I found an Import button under the file menu, and that lead
me to a dialog that asked me to input the URL of the repository,
which I did (http://idl-coyote.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/coyote).
This has brought me to a Select Resource dialog which shows the
URL of the repository, with the Head Revision selected, but
the Next button is grayed out! All I can do is go back or cancel.
Going back puts me back in the Enter Repository Location Information
dialog with the correct URL selected.
So, not sure what to do next. :-(
Thanks,
David

it is this one:
osgi.framework.extensions=
not osgi.bundles
sorry for the c/p failure
And it works also with the 1.8.1 version of the mercurial pluging

Ok, again until it is implemented
In case you want to use mercurial just do the following steps with idl8.1
copy of file
com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_1.7.1.v201012101420.jar
to
/usr/local/itt/idl/idl/idlde/plugins
and
copy of directory
mercurialeclipse_1.7.1.v201012101420
to
/usr/local/itt/idl/idl/idlde/features
then add to
/usr/local/itt/idl/idl/idlde/configuration.linux.x86_64/conf ig.ini
to the parameter starting with
osgi.bundles=
at the end of the line append similiar to the others
,reference\:file\:com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_1.7.1.v20101 2101420.jar@4
The next parameter is the eclipse.p2.data.area=
I used the same files as I got by using
Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.5.2
Build id: M20100211-1343
If you now choose File - Import you see Mercurial in the dialog

Ah, I should have known. :-) Anyway hope you're enjoying using
Subversion from workbench now.

Oh, OK. Sorry Scott. Using a non-functioning return
e-mail in newsgroups is the only way I know to keep
the spam traffic to a minimum (now only 80% of my
total traffic, down from 98%). :-)
Most people don't have too much trouble finding me,
but occasionally it gets me into trouble. Sorry, again.
Cheers,
David

Sorry David, I did not give up on you. I "replied to author" twice
giving you my email and asking for more specific information, but I
guess those went to an email account you don't keep up with. Sorry.
Glad you seem to have got it working.

Although, I should point out that I did manage to get
my Coyote directory installed in IDL 8.1 in this way.
But, when I went through the identical steps to get
my Catalyst directory installed, IDL went into some
kind of tail spin when it tried to make a project out
of it. I let it churn for a couple of hours before I
killed the process.
I haven't tried it again this morning, as I'm trying
to get some work done and I always use IDL 7.1.1 for
that. :-)
Cheers,
David
