Description seldaek 2009-09-04 22:16:04 UTC
Hello, I honestly mean no offense with this issue but after having used TortoiseSVN and Subclipse for years, now I'm 
really, really trying to use Netbeans but the SVN integration is just unusable compared to those other two. 

To give some more details, in both subclipse and tortoise when you click commit you get a list of *changes*, plus 
optionally you can display the unversionned files to do a svn add on them, you get one checkbox per file to easily add/
remove it from this particular commit, you can double click a file to get a diff and review the changes. 

All those things are, as far as I know, impossible to do from the commit dialog in Netbeans, and they are all very 
useful, highly productive features.

Now I don't really know much about Java itself, so it's a wild guess, but I have to ask, couldn't you integrate 
Subclipse in Netbeans somehow ? It's java, it's some kind of open source, I didn't look extensively at licenses used by 
netbeans and eclipse projects but I assume/hope it would work out. 

In any case thank you and I really hope the next major Netbeans release will see some improvement there.

unversioned files are automaticaly scheduled for and add, and you can eventually deselect them - click on the field in the commit action column

> you get one checkbox per file to easily add/

as mentioned, you can do that by clicking on the commit action column. I agree that a checkbox would be a better choise - see issue #165750 - which already
tracks this problem and is scheduled for the next release

> you can double click a file to get a diff and review the changes. 
see issue #127282 - also scheduled for the next release

to get it short - no. too many dependencies on the eclipse platform and the ui toolkit is also different...

will close this as an duplite of #165750
