Started JDeveloper this morning and received the “updates” balloon. This time I decided to take a look and see what was new.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that a early access Subversion extension is available.

This is what I did to get it working for me on Windows XP.

1. Use the update manager to install the extension.
2. Restart JDeveloper.
3. Download the following from subversion.tigris.org:
   • svn-1.3.0-setup.exe
   • svn-win32-1.3.0_javahl.zip
4. Run svn-1.3.0-setup.exe to install the Subversion client.
5. Unzip svn-win32-1.3.0_javahl.zip into the “bin” directory under the Subversion installation folder.
6. Now in JDeveloper do the following:
   • Click Versioning
   • Click Select Version System
   • Click Subversion

That’s it!

I have been using it for a couple of hours now and have not run into any problems.
