Provisioner project uses SourceForge's Subversion reposiroty for source control purposes. In order to check-out and commit changes to Provisioner's repository you have to install an Eclipse Subversion plugin. Go to Eclipse's software update window (i.e., Help->Software Updates->Find and Install) and add a new update site by entering the URL: "http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x". This will automatically install Subclipse plug-in (Note: Select "Subclipse Plugin" and leave out "Integrations" when selecting features to install). You may get a feature verification warning complaining that you are installing an unsigned feature, you just have to ignore this warning.

Instructions on how to download project's source code as a developer from the command line, can be found at http://identitymngr.sourceforge.net/source-repository.html. On the other hand, if you want to download project's source code from within Eclipse you will have to create a new project selecting "Checkout Projects from SVN" wizard in "New Project" window (i.e., File->New->Project). This will create a new project by checking out an existing project from a SVN repository. If you are connecting to SourceForge's SVN server for the first time you will need to create a new SVN repository by typing "https://identitymngr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/identitymngr/" when asked for new SVN repository URL. If you are going to work in the development mainline checkout from the trunk folder, if what you are planning to do is do bug fixing on an official release (e.g. version 1.0.18) you should checkout from the branches folder selecting the particular release (e.g. ~/branches/Provisioner-1.0.18). You might get an error stating that the certificate issuer is unknown, ignore the error by clicking the "Accept Permanently" button. Eclipse will start downloading Provisioner's source code.

In order to be able to compile from within Eclipse install Maven2 plug-in. Go to Eclipse's software update window (i.e., Help->Software Updates->Find and Install) and add a new update site by entering the URL: "http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/update/". This will automatically install Maven2 plug-in (Note: Select "Maven Integration" and leave out "Optional Components" when selecting features to install). Once you have Maven2 installed you will be able to compile Provisioner by right-clicking pom.xml file and selecting "Maven2 Build" from the "Run As" option. To learn more about Maven goto http://maven.apache.org.
