if you are a standalone flex user you probably never noticed the option when you do a right click on a project folder inside flex, yeh there is this option called “team”,
and how useful this one is, it allows you to use a CVS repository so you can easily share and keep track of the code changes. Really really useful, but what do you do if don’t have a CVS repository? Nowadays most hosting companies offer you an SVN repository and that’s not compatible with CVS, so there is no way to use that functionality in flex right? wrong!
Since Flex3 and it’l older versions are based on the Eclipse SDK, you can install any of the extra packages that come along with Eclipse, you can download them directly from the UI by going to Help-> Software Updates ->Find & Install.
By now that should be pretty clear, you can install plugins from Eclipse directly from the UI, but you didn’t found an SVN option right? Jump right over to this site: http://www.polarion.org/index.php?page=download&project=subversive, and add the two sources download the SVN and the SVN connector, you’ll be asked to restart Flex to apply the changes, go on and do that.
As soon as Flex started again, go have a look at the team option and select Share Project now you can choose between CVS and SVN ![]()

I’ll be writing a tutorial on how to install the SVN extensions and some first steps very soon, so stay tuned for an update
