How to configure your subversion client

In order to have keyword substitution work correctly for new Java files added to subversion, you need to follow these steps:
  • Open your subversion configuration file in a text editor
    • On windows the file is found here: %APPDATA%/Subversion/config
    • On unix/mac/linux you will find it here: ~/.subversion/config
  • Remove the comment (#) in front of: enable-auto-props = yes
  • Add the following line in the [auto-props] section
*.java = svn:keywords=LastChangedDate !LastChangedRevision !LastChangedBy !HeadURL Id

This means that all new Java files, that are added to Subversion will have the svn:keywords property set correctly. If these keywords (e.g. $!LastChangedBy:$) are used in JavaDoc, they will get substituted by subversion when committed.
