   That is very cool. I now have it set up too, at least everything but the tasks. So far, I am using the repository more as a backup than anything else — sort of afraid to use it because I got some errors last time I used the “sync with salesforce” command (wouldn’t open the files anymore, had to use subversion to “revert”).

   My question is — have you successfully merged changes you and Matthew have made to the same file and had them merge into Salesforce? What are the steps? I guess I don’t fully understand the relationship between my local Eclipse version of the code and the other two (google/svn and sfdc).

   We have been working on separate files to date, so haven’t had to master the subversion merge. Here’s how I understand the setup:

   * the working copy is a local text file of, say, an Apex class
   * the Apex eclipse integration takes a save to your local file and saves it up to Salesforce.com as well
   * you can commit your changes to those text files to subversion whenever you want
   * you can ‘refresh files with latest from server’ and overwrite your sf.com code with the version on the sf.com server
   * you can update working copies with the latest from subversion

   You can start with this:

   * set up an Apex project in Eclipse, pointing at your sf.com code
   * right click on that project and add to version control–clarification, go to Team | Share to add it to version control
   * after it adds all your files to the location you specified, your working copies are now connected in both directions: sf.com and svn

   I’ll try to make more more Jing movies…

   Nice post. I use these same Eclipse Plug-ins to do work on Arrowpointe Maps. Because I don’t want the code visible to the public like on Google Code, I subscribed to a hosted SVN service, http://www.devguard.com. It has worked very well and I’d recommend it. Because it’s just me developing, I haven’t had to do merges and the like with another developer, but I use it as a backup (trunk) and as a way to have a backup at specific releases (tags). I love it. I actually didn’t know Google Code had that.

   I use a Task list hosted with DevGuard. They implement Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/), which is a project management tool that sits on top of Subversion and is used for Issue Tracking. It’s very cool. Mine is username and password protected, but you can see a good example of it in action at http://trac.wordpress.org/, which is the public Wordpress one. It does a good job of keeping your tasks, bugs, enhancements, etc. tied to your versions and milestones.

   check out Mylyn–it’s included in Eclipse 3.3. I’m pretty sure it has a Trac plug in. I know there are lots of folks using SVN and the eclipse plugin for Apex, but if you search for it on the sf boards you won’t find a thing. Great to know you’re using the same tools we are!

   Yeah, I am using it. It was called Mylar in Eclipse v3.2.

   I’m using Eclipse + SVN + Trac + Mylyn and it’s working great. If you use the Trac Mylyn bridge with the XML-RPC plugin for Trac all task management is handled via the native Eclipse task interface and includes all your extended properties for Trac.

   The link no longer works. Is the video available somewhere else?
