according to netbeans documentation to check out from svn:
Checking out Files from a Repository
If you want to connect to a remote
repository from the IDE, then check
out files and immediately begin
working with them, do the following:
- In NetBeans IDE, choose Versioning > Subversion > Checkout
from the main menu. The Checkout
wizard opens.
that’s all well and good. However, it doesn’t seem to be an option. I have a nice little subversion window with nice little buttons like refresh, commit, etc, but no checkout button, or, more importantly, a way to enter a URL for a repo.
I’ve gone and installed Win32Svn, because from the DOS prompt, no svn in the path. Now there’s svn from the DOS prompt, so it’s at least on the path. After restarting NB, still no option to enter a URL. PEBKAC not impossible…
Try
Team->Subversion->Checkout(tested under Netbeans 6.9).
