Issue
I'm working on a large project (~200 eclipse projects) which is stored on a remote subversion server. I have to do an update every day (and at least a partial update/sync before every commit). The full update takes quite some time, so I'd like to have my machine do this before I arrive at work. Is there a way to do this in eclipse (3.5 on Windows XP)? Probably an external script calling svn command line tools on the project folders and then starting eclipse could do the job, but I'd like to use the svn tool in eclipse if possible.
Solution
You're much better off having this done by an external script, but if you have to do it in Eclipse, use the Eclipse Monkey plugin, which will allow you to do scripting inside Eclipse.
Unfortunately there's not too much info available for Eclipse monkey, but here's an introduction:
