Checking out a repository as a project

Before you can check out a repository project, you must add a Subversion repository. See Adding a repository location.

Use this procedure to checkout a repository as a project when there are already entries connected to your development project in a Subversion repository.

  1. In the SVN Repositories view, select and expand the view of a repository.
  2. Right-click on the repository and select Checkout. The Checkout from SVN window is displayed.
  3. Select the option to check out as a project in the workspace and accept the project name displayed.
  4. Click Finish. The repository is checked out as a Java project.
  5. Switch to the Project Explorer and verify that a new environment project has been created and is connected to the Subversion repository.
  6. To create your MAK project, select the option to get settings from an environment in the workspace. Use the setting of the newly checked out environment project. The wizard will detect that a Java project of the same name already exists, then it will automatically connect the MAK project to it.
