The new OTN Sample code site (see the entry "New Service for OTN Members: Public Sample Code Repository" in the OTN homepage) has been recently been introduced and like many folks I've been itching to start using as a great place to store all of those samples that people keep asking me about.
For my first project, however, I decided that this would be a great place to put the sample application code that accompanies the upcoming JDeveloper 11g Handbook. My main interest here was to see how simple it was to work directly with the Subversion source control repository associated with a project. i.e. Could I work directly from within JDeveloper on a samplecode.oracle.com project.
Well the answer is yes, and it's pretty easy, certainly much easier than working with sites like SourceForge in the past which has been a whole mess of private / public key stuff and Plink.
Having requested my new project and once the basic site was created from the template all the information I actually needed was available on the Subversion link of the project homepage:

Then on that page you have information about how to checkout from SVN from the command line. The key part here is to take the relevant URL:

and then use that in your JDeveloper version navigator to create the connection:

And you're done. I can now check out and check in to the project directly from JDeveloper in the normal way. Notice I did get a warning about the site certificates not being trusted but JDeveloper allows you to ignore that on a temporary or permanent basis. I'll look into that one, it's no big deal.
