Adding a source control plugin to Aptana [edit]

This page describes how to add a source control plugin, such as Subversion or Perforce, to Aptana.

Contents

Introduction

You can easily add source control plugins into your Aptana installation. We currently include access to Subversion and Perforce, by default, but you can either configure a connection to an update site for a different plugin, or if enough users request a different source control plugin, we may support it in the future.

Instructions

You can either use the Plugins Manager View to install a source control plug-in or manually install the plug-in.

Installing source control via the Plugins Manager

The Plugins Manager View offers an easy way to install the Subclipse and/or Subversive plug-ins for Subversion. To quickly install either of these, select which plug-in you would like to use and follow the instructions in Displaying the Plugins Manager View.

Manually installing a source control plug-in

If you would like to use a different source control plug-in than Subclipse or Subversive or just prefer to install manually, you can install your source control plug-in by following the instructions in Installing a plug-in.

The chart on the Quick reference for popular plug-ins page gives update URL's for several popular plug-ins.
