Subversion GUI, maybe in java

[Berlin Brown]

Anybody know of a good subversion gui, I ask in a java forum because I
know you guys use svn.

Ideally, I cant install it using an installer; so something out of a
zip file. Ideally, all I need is something that does the basic
commands and is more than the command-line client.

I am using JSVN 0.8, but I can't commit on windows to save my life. So
that is out.

Anyone?

For Windows TortoiseSVN is great. See http://tortoisesvn.net

I can't install due to admin restrictions (that will never change).

Try SmartSVN from http://www.syntevo.com/

It is pure Java

Get NetBeans 5.5 (you can download as a zip) and it has subversion
integration.

Same goes for Eclipse. There is a Subclipse plugin for Subversion. You
can install through the update manager or just unzip unto Eclipse structure.

Strange, with the version of wsad I was using Eclipse-2.x. it didnt
work. I didnt feel like correcting it.

I like the SmartSVN, not bad. Dont get wrong. The command-line is
great for commits/adds just not that great for repo-browsing or see
revisions of a file.

Berlin, please learn how to post in a newsgroup thread. TOP POSTING
makes it hard to read, as you can tell by this thread! I would fix this
top post but I am to tired of people posting anyway they want! Well at
least it is not as bad as the PHP newsgroups.

As for Eclipse and Subclipse: Well, Eclipse 2.X is going back a year and
a half to two years ago. Both Eclipse and the Subclipse plugin have
matured greatly.

You can always use RapidSVN or TortoiseSVN both from the developers at
tigris.org

And bottom posting without proper trimming the quotes makes it even
harder to read!

First time anyone mention it. What is or point me to the correct format...

 

[Berlin Brown]

I dont know, I am use google groups; I am pretty sure I didnt
top-post:

Anyway:

I am running subversion local. I have been able to access the repo
mostly with for example:
(on Win32)

"file:///C:/repo"

etc. It works fine with the command line client, but I am trying to run
some of the gui's out there.

A lot of them dont support 'file:'?

Is the 'svn' protocol synonmous with file or are there other ways to
get to the repos that for example 'SmartSVN' GUI might support.

If you repeat a lot of lines where the quote level is 2 or 3, the whole things
gets really confusing. In such cases I very much prefer top posting because I
don't have to scroll down 40,50 maybe even a hundred lines, just to see a single
line answer.

In modern times, where nearly everyone is using a threaded newsreader and can
read the postings sequentially, I believe it is much more efficient to either
top quote (I know it is froned upon) or only quote those parts that are relevant
for the answer.

top-post:

You ARE top-posting! Just read your ****ing posts. Where are your words ? At
the top...

And the fact that you are posting via the brain-dead Google interface to Usenet
in no way means that you are not part of Usenet. (Although it does call for a
certain amount of sympathy)

You are assuming that people's newsreaders display the topmost text by default.
If the newsreader scrolls to the bottom by default, then top-posting is
particularly obnoxious.

Mind, I use a top-first newsreader and top-posting irritates me -- first I
scroll all the way to the bottom to find out what the idiot who can't be
bothered to trim has said, and then I realise that the bastard has written
whatever few lines of input he has to offer at the top instead...

Selective quoting is the /only/ technique which respects your audience's time,
convenience, and patience.

Why? I have been posting through Google groups for
some months now, and while it has some disadvantages,
it also has it's upside.

*Users* of Google groups may need a little prompting to
read the documentation of their web interface*, but to
Google's credit, most of the relevant advice is mentioned
somewhere, in some form.

* Note that I am not implying Google groups docs. get it
right all the time, nor that Google is any sort of authority
on Usenet - but they have improved the documentation
relevant to their web-interface, and the things it connects
to (like usenet).

Agreed.

First time anyone mention it.

That does not surprise me. Top-posting is much more common.

I regularly ask people not to top-post, but have not seen
enough 'bottom-posts' to justify bringing it up.

OTOH, when I ask people not to top-post, I try to
make sure I word it in a way that (hopefully)
communicates that the best is way it to put replies
'immediately after the relevant comment'
(which hardly rolls off the tongue, and does not actually
mention the advice to *trim* text no longer relevant)

..What is or point me to the correct format...

'correct'?

I'd say there is no 'correct' way, since problems have
been raised and resolved using all three posting styles.

OTOH - I would say that 'inline with trim' posting is the
most *optimal* way to get to the solution, with minimum
use of bandwidth.

Well, it is definitely harder to /read/ posts in Google; and (judging by most
posters) it's harder to /write/ posts in Google (while conforming to half-way
decent standards).

I'm not convinced that there's all that much left for Google's upside to
exhibit itself in...

BTW, if you don't mind the question, why /do/ you choose to post via Google ?
