How to use Subversion with Eclipse and Version Control with Subversion

I use subclipse with eclipse and do something like the following when adding projects to my repository

1. Create the repository (This should already be done svnRepos)
   - svnadmin create /cs/grad/username/cs/svnRepos

2. Create the project file structure you want to add to the repository.
   - assuming a dir structure lik the following
          -epl/
             -/Architecture
             -/Architecture/ClassDiagram
             -/Architecture/ClassDiagram/ClassDiagram.jpg
             -/Architecture/SequenceDiagram
             -/Architecture/SequenceDiagram/sdCreatePlayer.jpg
             -/Architecture/SequenceDiagram/sdCreateGroup.jpg
             -/Architecture/SequenceDiagram/sdLogin.jpg
             -/Architecture/SequenceDiagram/sdJoinPlayersGroup-1.jpg
             -/Architecture/SequenceDiagram/sdLoginCheck.jpg
             -/Architecture/UseCase
             -/Architecture/UseCase/UseCase.jpg
             -/WebRoot
             -/src
   - create the following structure
          -epl/
              -trunk/
              -branches/

   - copy the epl/* into epl/trunk/

3. To add a project from eclipse 
   - click on team -> share project
   - select svn
   - create a new repository location
   - enter svn+ssh://username@yourhost.com/cs/grad/username/cs/svnRepos/sda/epltest
   - Use specific folder name trunk/application (or webapp)
   - unselect the .* files

4. your all set
