Project Plan For Subversive - SVN Team Provider, version Kepler

Introduction

Subversive provides you a probability to use supported SVN clients easily directly from your workbench. Friendly user interface of Subversive makes it much more comfortable to operate repositories. All SVN operations are supported and there are no difficulties while working with command line from now on.

The plan deals with the important matters of release deliverables, release milestones, target operating environments, and release-to-release compatibility. These are all things that need to be clear for any release, even if no features were to change.

Release Deliverables

The Subversive plug-in itself, including Mylyn integration and localizations, is distributed from Eclipse.org both via update-site and archive download. The other integrations and Subversive SVN Connectors needed to get Subversive to work with SVN can be found on Polarion Software site. The archived copies for Polarion distributed parts are not available.

Target Environments

New Subversive builds do not support nor Eclipse 3.5 and earlier, nor JRE 1.4. In the future this solution should allow us to make project code more clean and stable.

So, the Subversive project will support:

• Eclipse Platform 3.6.x and higher
• JDK/JRE 1.5.x and higher
• SVN version 1.1.x-1.6.x using SVN 1.6 compatible connectors.
• SVN version 1.7.x using SVN 1.7 compatible connectors.

Internationalization

The user interface elements provided by Subversive, including dialogs and error messages, are externalized. The English strings are provided as the default resource bundles.
