To meet your needs, we constantly work to improve Querix products.
This means that Lycia documentation is developing as well.
In case you have found a certain dissonance between the provided information and the actual behavior of Lycia 3 and/or your applications, please, let us know about this via documentation@querix.com so that we can introduce the necessary changes to our documentation.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
You can install a new plug-in to enhance the performance of LyciaStudio. For example, you can install the plug-in for working with the SVN repository, if you do not want to use the CVS repository, for which LyciaStudio offers a built-in client. For the details about using the CVS client within LyciaStudio refer to "Working with Repositories". Working with the SVN options offered by the plug-in is very much alike.
To install an SVN plug-in take the following steps:
1. Click Help -> Install New Software in the main menu.
2. You will be presented with the dialog which will prompt you for the site from which you want to download the plug-in:
3. Lets presume you have no software sites configured. Click Add... to specify the update website from which you want to download the SVN plug-in.
4. In the dialog box enter the name for the software site and its address:
For the demonstration purpose we entered the name of the sbuclipse plug-in update site (http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x). The address of the sbuclipse plug-in update site can be found on subclipse.tigris.org, at the Download and Install page. Click OK.
5. Then select the added site from the combo box at the top of the dialog. Then you will see the features available for installation from the selected update site:
6. Check the features you want to install and then click Next.
7. The details about each component of the plug-in to be installed will be displayed in the next dialog page. In the case with this svn plugin, you may need to remove the check from the Mylyn integration component in the list, as it is shown in the picture below, because LyciaStudio does not support this Eclipse component by default.
8. Click either Next button or Finish button, depending on which of them is active. If the plug-in requires the accepting of the license agreement, you will need to press Next and accept it, otherwise, the Finish button will be active.
9. The installation will begin. Once the new features have been downloaded and installed successfully, Lycia will offer you to restart the Studio in order that the changes took effect, or to apply the feature without the restart. It is advisable to make a restart.
10. After the feature is installed and applied, it will be integrated into the Studio. In our case the SVN Repository Exploring perspective will appear among the list of other perspectives, when selecting Window -> Open Perspective -> Others...
11. Using this perspective, you can check out, commit, update and use your SVN repository in any other way.
Please, note that you will also need to install the Subversive connectors which are not distributed with Subversive itself. The current version of Subversive has a connector discovery feature which makes it easy to find one. To do this, go to the subversive preference page at Window -> Preferences -> Team -> SVN. This preferences section will appear after the plug-in is installed.
