I'm allowed to use Linux at work, but unfortunately I make heavy use of subversion, and need a decent file-manager-integrated SVN client. Linux hasn't got a decent option yet, although I use Linux exclusively at home. |

kdesvn? It's integrated with Konqueror, so it theoretically fits your description. |

Here is a good one for you. I would use linux 100% of the time at work and we are a total microsoft desktop company. I have no problems using linux in a total microsoft environment. But our crack security team only allows vpn through windows. We use the cicso client which evens supports linux and has a linux client but security said no. But we still allow active on web pages and also allow lock in with microsoft only web pages. And we also buy proprietary tools to put on linux that we don't need and just add a tax onto linux. Pure genius is all I gotta say. I tell ya sometimes I just want to write that Jerry Macguire memo. People have no common sense anymore. I went without a raise this year because of the economy but the company was very profitable and yet we still pay all these taxes on linux that we don't need. We have more tools running than we do applications on our servers. We have to size our servers for the tools more than the applications. It is a joke. |

Not sure why you would need a file-manager integrated SVN client, and why something like rapidsvn, subcommander or even smartsvn (basic) would not fit your needs. I normally use it from within eclipse with subclipse plugin, or command-line svn. In fact I really don't like TortoiseSVN on windows that will really slow down the already slow explorer to a crawl. |

I'd really love someone to show me how to get eclipse working properly. I just tried it again the other day (the first time since I've been using Ubuntu), and I couldn't even get the help files to load. I'd do the Eclipse install extensions/Add on what ever they are called, and it would go through the motions and there'd be nothing installed. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong, because I assume everyone else can install from the repository and have a working copy of eclipse. |

@dark_ixion: You may want to give the stand-alone SVN clients on Linux a try. I find stand alone clients superior to the one's integrated into any kind of file explorer. I once tried TortoiseSVN on Windows and it was horrible. Yuk. Personally I use the standard commandline svn client all the time and I use Meld or Vim to view svn diffs. Then again, I am a commandline guy. I like my tools decoupled. Just like I can't stand integrated svn/explorer I really dislike IDEs. They get in my way. I use (g)Vim for all my programming work with just a few plugins. |

@tracyanne I have been running eclipse on hardy and jaunty at work and home without problems. I remember that ubuntu tries to use gcj's java per default which is horribly slow and that may possibly be the cause of your problem. Also I do not use the repository version of eclipse since I have had some problems with plugins and the version in repo is not the recent one (I like to use the new CDT which works well for C++ development). Here are the steps to get it going: sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jdk sun-java5-source Then verify that "java -version" gives something like 1.5.0_16 If not then "sudo update-java-alternatives -l" will list the available versions and "sudo update-java-alternatives -s version" will set the required version. If you are using jaunty then you could use sun-java6-jdk instead -- the one in hardy (and probably intrepid too) has a bug which causes eclipse to hang intermittently. Get the eclipse bundle from http://www.eclipse.org (I usually get the version for java developers and then add features like CDT, subclipse as required) and run the eclipse executable in the expanded archive. I usually increase the value of Xmx in eclipse.ini to 1-2GB (depending on available RAM in the machine) and Xms to a value half that of Xmx. Since you have tried running eclipse before, there may be some old artifacts lying around so starting eclipse with "eclipse -clean" the first time would be a good idea and also delete any old workspace directory. Edit: For GUI development you may try visual editor here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Update |
