Installing Rails plugins with Subversion for Eclipse

Hi you all,

I've installed Subversion for Eclipse (Subclipse), in order to install Rails plugins (will_paginate, more precisely).

However, I want to install the plugin without having to move my Rails project to a svn repository. Is this possible? I have import the will_paginate plugin svn address into a new project, but I have stopped here cause I don't know what to do with the classes.

Btw, as Subclipse is a plugin, I cannot execute command lines cause "svn" is not a proper command, it's not in my PATH.

Suggestions or any idea?

I would recommend NOT using subclipse for this. Just install subversion normally. Use your OS’s package manager of you’re on OSX or Linux, or use the subversion installer for windows. The rails plugin installers require svn to be on your path to work. Subclipse is designed to let you manage your own code from within Eclipse, but you really should have the commandline tools installed anyway.
