NetBeans support for Subversion

Its good to see that a Subversion project web page has been created on the NetBeans web site. The aim of this project is to deliver good Subversion client support to NetBeans similar to that of the new CVS support.

Accoring to the web page, the project is currently in its planning stage with the goal of having a prototype in May 2006. More details of this can be found at http://subversion.netbeans.org/teepee/

I hope the project team looks at TortoiseSVN and gets a bit of inspiration from this product. This has got to be one of the best SVN front ends available (Windows only I’m afraid).

First CVS then Subversion?

Netbeans has announced a preview of their new CVS support. I don’t use CVS, I much prefer Subversion so this new release doesn’t interest me too much.

However, according to the release notes:

…it is critical for us to know what you think before we release the final version and move to integrating support for more versioning systems such as Subversion and MS SourceSafe!

So, please can everyone using Netbeans and CVS give this a try and give feedback. Then it hopefully won’t be too long before we get a similar level of Subversion integration in Netbeans.
