Re: [udig-devel] Re: Trouble with fresh SVN checkout

[Jesse Eichar <jeichar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matthias,

We're no longer very happy with the subclipse plugin, you're not the 
only person we know that has problems like these.  For some unknown 
reason subclipse seems to require a number of refresh and clean 
commands.  I have no idea why.  The entire udig team has switched to 
commandline subversion instead.  It seems to work with less hassles.  
I'm going to update the wiki so it reflects that opinion.
