NetBeans and Subversion

Improve Your Processes and Resource Utilization

The NetBeans IDE extends CollabNet collaboration capabilities through:

• Enhanced versioning interface: The NetBeans IDE combined with the CollabNet platform provides extensive integration of versioning capabilities. The IDE's Source Editor enables convenient tracking of local file changes and provides inline versioning commands.
• Overview of versioned file history: When working with CollabNet Subversion in the NetBeans IDE, full versioned file history is at the developers' fingertips. Accessibility to project file history provides teams with a stable archive, a necessity as projects change and evolve over time.
• Ability to resolve conflicts quickly and efficiently: File conflicts are a natural part of the development process when large numbers of developers work on the same files. The NetBeans IDE provides a Subversion Conflict Resolver that identifies conflicts and provides the means to resolve them efficiently.

Why NetBeans IDE and CollabNet?

Many projects involve contributions from developers spread over large geographic areas. In order to promote collaboration while maintaining source integrity, CollabNet Subversion provides a uniquely sophisticated solution, and the NetBeans IDE provides developers with all the tools they need to enhance productivity.

NetBeans's Subversion support was the product of collaboration between CollabNet and the NetBeans community. Users of CollabNet Subversion and the NetBeans IDE benefit from a tight integration between the two products.

CollabNet Subversion support includes various visual features, such as versioning badges, color coding, and status labels, which facilitate keeping track of file changes. Other features include: a dedicated versioning window, History viewer, Diff viewer, Conflict Resolver, as well as various wizards and dialogs that aid in performing common versioning tasks.
