# Import a Project into a Subversion Repository

Create a simple project that contains a few files so they can be stored in the Subversion Repository. A good test is to create a sample plug-in project by selecting File>New>Project.. and Plug-in Development>Plug-in Project Give the project a name and click through to finish on the wizard.

Next select the project you want to import and right click to select Team > Share Project.... This will bring the share project wizard dialog. Select SVN as the repository type and click next. Then use the existing repository location and click next again. Select Use project name as module name and click finish This will make a remote directory in the repository and checkout that into the project to create all the .svn metadata directories

You should now see the project decorated with the repository URL Then select the lop level files and directories to be added and Right Click>Team > Add to Version Control. You should see the * decoration to indicate an added but not commited resource. With the same resources still selected Right click>Team > Commit... You will prompted with a dialog that you can enter a commit comment (eg initial commit) and click OK The project has now been imported into the Subversion repository!
