Managing your project in NetBeans

If you are software engineer, you probably have some experience in managing your projects. For those who aren't satisfied with way of managing or for those who never managed a project here is a short 'how-to' manage projects in NetBeans.
First, download NetBeans 6 and download SubVersion software.
Next, I found a very good subversion hosting, with nice support for collaboration between developers, http://www.codespaces.com/. You can create account there, or to find other subversion hosting. If you decide and register on codespaces, then next is to create subversion repository in admin section, place milestones, and set other parameters related for your projects. You can add users, assign tasks,set forum and much more useful stuff to improve your project management.
After one of added users logs, first he gets dashboard, a short project overview.
Each of users can easy upload their projects progress to repository. Simply open you java project in NetBeans, right click on project, choose Subversion->Import into Subversion Repository. If there is SVN error, check subversion software installation, set path to your installation and restart NetBeans. If there is no error, copy Repository link from Source code Tab in codespaces repository.
Insert your username and password and set folder name and import message.This message is ofter required on repositories, because of revisions reasons. If this is first time to upload project, then you can set "Project, version 1". Next what you'll be asked for is to select files to upload. I suggest to upload whole project.
Now, you are there - you can monitor your progres, and progress of others in the group, very easy update all changes of your code, and other useful things.

On Codespace, your development fellows and you have opportunity to monitor your code, browsing your project in Source code Tab
