This tutorial assumes you have the following installed:

• CFEclipse
• Subclipse plugin
• A remote Subversion repository

First open CFEclipse and open the SVN Repository view.

Window > Show View > SVN Repository

Next click on the Add New Repository button.

Enter the URL of you remote repository and click Finish. I usually enter the root URL so I can access anything within the repository. Your remote repository should now be visible in the SVN Repository view.

Click next and enter your project name and select your location and click Finish:

Your CFEclipse perspective should open to your new project. You should see the standard SVN icons letting you know these files are under version control:

And you can now manage these files in Subversion via the Team menu:
