Answer 1

Eclipse does not have internal Subversion connectivity. After you've downloaded and unzipped Eclipse, you have to install a Subversion plug-in. Check with the other developers as to which Subversion plug-in you're using. Subclipse is one Subversion plug-in.

After you've installed the Subversion plug-in, you have to give Eclipse the repository information in the SVN Repositories view of the SVN Repositories perspective. One of the other developers should have that information.

Finally, you check out the project from Subversion, by left clicking on the Package Explorer, selecting New -> Project, and in the New Project wizard,left clicking on SVN -> Checkout projects from SVN.
