[Review for External] How to re-enable Subversion/SVN connector discovery in your IDL Workbench session
Anonym
[ Note: The information in this help article was developed and tested with IDL 8.4.1. ]
The IDL 8 Workbench allows users to install/configure Subversion/SVN repository connectors so that IDL application development can be done in the context of using SVN revision control repositories. To enable use of the Subversion with the IDL Workbench, select the menu item:
Window > Source Control Tools > Subversion
At this point you will be walked through a set of dialogs to select and install various Subversion components to the IDL Workbench.
By default you only get one chance to enable the SVN/Subversion functionality in IDL. You can, however, re-enable this configuration path for your IDL Workbench as follows:
1.) Open your IDL Workbench session and uncheck the menu item
Window > Source Control Tools > Subversion
2.) Exit out of your IDL session.
3.) Using a plain text editor, open the following file to edit:
[path-to-your-IDL-workspace folder]/.metada/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.team.svn.ui.prefs
For example, IDL 8.4 on Windows 7:
C:\Users\[user-name]\IDLWorkspace84\.metada\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.team.svn.ui.prefs
For Linux:
/home/[user-name]/IDLWorkspace84/.metada/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.team.svn.ui.prefs
For Mac OS X:
/User/[user-name]/IDLWorkspace84/.metada/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.team.svn.ui.prefs
4.) Change the following line in the file:
firstStartup=false
-to-
firstStartup=true
5.) Save the change, start your IDL Workbench session and then check the menu item:
Window > Source Control Tools > Subversion
After allowing the SVN Repositories explorer view to be opened, the Subversion installation dialog should appear to allow you to install/re-install SVN connector components to your IDL Workbench session.
