Tag a Revision using Subclipse

Tagging a revision is a simple task if you’re using the subclipse plugin for Eclipse. For this example, we’re going to tag the trunk in our repository. This also assumes that your repository uses the traditional “3 directory setup” of branches, tags, and trunk.

1. Make sure you have a SVN View tab in Eclipse.

To do this, go to:
Window > Show View > Other > SVN > SVN Repositories

2. Under “WebSites” (in the following screenshot), right click on the trunk, and select “Branch/Tag…”:

3. Make sure you use the appropriate tag version that adheres to your versioning needs. Also, make sure it’s under the “tags” folder: svn://WebSites/Project-2/tags/

CTRL+TAB in Eclipse

By default, CTRL+Tab (forward switching of windows) and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB (previous switching of windows) aren’t set in Eclipse to switch between editors windows. There are other Eclipse, non-standard defaults like CTRL+F6 for forward switching. To set these shortcuts, do the following:

Run Eclipse
Window -> Preferences
General -> Keys
Search for: Next Editor
Put the cursor in the “Binding” textbox and delete that hotkey. Then, press and hold CTRL+TAB
Hit Apply.
Search for: Previous Editor
Put the cursor in the “Binding” textbox and delete that hotkey. Then, press and hold CTRL+SHIFT+TAB
Hit Apply and OK.

Apply similar steps for Ctrl+Shift+Tab.
