URL for svn plugin of netbeans

Question

according to netbeans documentation to check out from svn:

Checking out Files from a Repository

If you want to connect to a remote repository from the IDE, then check out files and immediately begin working with them, do the following:

1. In NetBeans IDE, choose Versioning > Subversion > Checkout from the main menu. The Checkout wizard opens.

that's all well and good. However, it doesn't seem to be an option. I have a nice little subversion window with nice little buttons like refresh, commit, etc, but no checkout button, or, more importantly, a way to enter a URL for a repo.

I've gone and installed Win32Svn, because from the DOS prompt, no svn in the path. Now there's svn from the DOS prompt, so it's at least on the path. After restarting NB, still no option to enter a URL. PEBKAC not impossible...

Answer 1

Try Team->Subversion->Checkout (tested under Netbeans 6.9).
