Installing SVN in TopBraid Composer

TopBraid Composer can be used with Subversion (SVN) for version control of text-based projects. Composer supports the Subversive plug-in for Eclipse. However, the plug-in must be downloaded and installed in TopBraid Composer before use.

Note 1: More information is found at: http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/downloads.php

Note 2: These instructions are for TopBraid Composer versions 3.2.x and later. For earlier versions, the SVN instructions for Windows users are here and for Mac users, here

Automatic Installation (with Internet Access)

1. Select "File > Import", then choose "SVN > Project from SVN" as shown in the image:
2. An installation wizard for the Subversive plug-ins will appear, similar to the one below. The recommended choice will be marked as such.
3. Click Finish and follow steps from the wizard. The plugins will be downloaded and installed. You may be asked to OK for unsigned content. A re-start of Composer will be required before the SVN plug-in can be used.

Setup without Internet Access

If the workstation that Composer is installed on does not have access to the Internet, you will need to manually install SVN by downloading the proper Subversive plug-ins from a machine with Internet access and installing from the local file system.

Download the zip archive for the Subversive plug-ins (no need to unzip the file once downloaded):
