How do I work on a branch in SVN Eclipse?


I've read multiple documentations already but I don't seem to get it - I want to branch one project folder of our rcp, change something there and test with the changes I've made there.

Which steps do I have to make to work on the branch? How do I integrate the branch in my workspace for testing without ruining my local files and what does Switch... do?


Solution

  • Working on a branch directly through Subclipse isn't possible. You have to check out to your local machine first and then commit back.

    This will override local changes, so make sure to branch them first.
