JDeveloper and SVN

As most of you are most likely aware, JDeveloper's SVN integration is not the easiest to use, and there are a number of features that seem relatively absent.  One such feature that I completely miss from Eclipse plug-ins like Subversive and Subclipse is the fact that they automatically do an SVN "Add" operation when new files are created.  Alas, JDeveloper may be capable of doing the same thing!

I was perusing the web today looking for an alternative to JDeveloper's built-in support for SVN, when I stumbled across a little tidbit in the Oracle documentation, that will enable JDeveloper to automatically add new files on commit.  To enable this:

1. Open JDeveloper and select the Tools -> Preferences menu item.
2. On the left hand tree select Versioning -> General.
3. Make sure that the Automatically Add New Files on Committing Working Copy is checked.
4. Press OK.

This should bring JDeveloper more in line with what most developers are used to.  Why it is not checked by default upon install, I will never know.
