Getting NetBeans 6.0 to work with Subversion on Ubuntu Gutsy

Wednesday, 19/12/07

I wanted to build Apache Derby with NetBeans on Ubuntu Gutsy. Here’s how I got NetBeans to work with Subversion:

  1. Browse to
    Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Versioning -> Subversion
  2. Fill in the “Specify SVN Home Folder” field with “/usr/bin”, without the quotes.
  3. Restart NetBeans.
