This problem has been frustrating me for some time...
A lot of sites like Sourceforge use SVN or Subversion to manage their code. I have little problem compiling SVN code in C++, but when it comes to Java, my IDE gives me a headache.
I've installed Subclipse for SVN support for Eclipse, and it works. I can check out any code into my Workspace. Now Subclipse will put the whole thing into a special project of some sort that can't be compiled. So I search Google for something and I come up with modifying the eclipse XML file to specify the 'nature' to be a Java project.
Okay, now it's a Java project. Say I have a folder structure like:
\src \data \graphics
I get 800 compiler errors complaining the package name is org.company.SomePackage
instead of src.org.company.SomePackage
.
Then what I do is create packages called src, data, graphics, etc, instead of just folders. I cut and paste everything in the folders into the packages and finally I can compile it.
What is a better way to do this?
EDIT: I can only check out anything SVN as a SVN project, and there's no way within Eclipse to change that to a Java project. How can I check out the SVN as a java project in the first place?
