Hi AFAIK, Aptana RadRails, Netbeans RubyIDE and 3rdRail have SVN integration support. Which of these IDEs have the best SVN integration and why ? ---

Both RadRails and 3rdRail use the Subclipse plugin (though I suppose either could be made to use Subversive instead), so you’ll see no differences between them. I’m fairly happy with Subclipse; it’s a bit finicky, and there are some cases (reverting, especially) where it’s much slower than the command line, but the integration with the core Eclipse feature set is really nice - the ability to see in your project which files need updating, the Synchronize mode, and especially Mylyn’s ability to automatically create separate changesets for each of your to-do tasks. Two of my favorite features are the Eclipse Compare Editor graphical merge view and the “Quick Diff” annotation bar[2] (which colors the line-number field for each line based on revision number and author, making it easy to find change groups). The Subclipse maintainer is also on the core Subversion team, so I’d expect Subclipse to have terrific support for the cool new upcoming features in 1.5, like first-class changesets and merge tracking. In fact, he’s blogged about a GUI merge-tracking client he’s been working on[3].

I just started playing with NetBeans and agree it is one of the best IDE’s. Has great SVN/CVS integration too. ---

Hi Jay As I understand it from the Aptana radRails Forum, we can also use subversive. ---

I think the eclipse integration for subclipse is great, but the problem I have with it is that if you commit against several different projects in the same repository, it commits each project separately and NOT in the same transaction. So if your tenth project of ten fails because of a merge issue, (If you are working on a team it is easy to get out of sync and I don’t think there is any kind of trivial merge will be applied like ClearCase will do in these cases) you probably just broke your build. We use windows boxes and I commit through the (fully integrated with explorer) TortoiseSVN client which handles this problem in a single transaction and looks very similar to subclipse.

The ‘e texteditor’ for ruby/rails just uses the windows native TortoiseSVN integration which is fine for windows users.
