Covered the following items:
- Installing Eclipse/CFEclipse
- Setting up Subversion via HTTP (Apache) and Subclipse plugin
- Create and manage project under version control
- Configure ANT functionality to automate builds
    - Integrate with SVN Repo
    - FTP to server environments
- Other Eclipse plugins

Development Environment in team environment
- keep a local development server
- check out local to work, test and check back in - source control is only thing backed up

- for local repositories, created a virtual host entry for SVN that was different that others - I never thought of this, good recommendation
- Apache setup with SVN - load dav_module, dav_svn_module (,authz_svn_module for security) and <Location> entry DAV svn, SVNParentPath repo_path
- Use a client like TortoiseSVN  to do repository creation/etc., but learn the command line for ANT task building (it helps)
- security setup in <Location> tags, .htaccess, and .svn-access-file and use command line to populate users (htpasswd.exe)
    - Phil copies the generated username/password and pastes into the .htaccess file so that he can maintain the organization of that file
- Unfortunately, his Friday session didn't get into ANT

Afterwards, we talked a little about SVN's limitations on what I like to do as far as "build packages". Essentially I like to only "push" files that have changed, not entire repositories, and there isn't a way (that either of us know) to do give me all files that changed between revision X and Y. To me, this is the one drawback to SVN and something that gives me hesitation in moving towards it at work.
