Updating SVN in eclipse every day

Question

I am working on a large project (~ 200 eclipse projects) that is stored on a remote subversion server. I have to do an update every day (and at least a partial update / sync before each commit). A full update takes a lot of time, so I want my car to do this before I get to work. Is there a way to do this in eclipse (3.5 on Windows XP)? It is likely that an external script calling svn command-line tools in project folders and then running eclipse could do the job, but I would like to use the svn tool in eclipse if possible.

Answer 1

You are much better off doing this with an external script, but if you need to do this in Eclipse, use the Eclipse Monkey plugin, which allows you to execute scripts inside Eclipse.

Unfortunately, for Eclipse monkeys there is not much information, but here is the introduction:

Answer 2

Perhaps with a subquery plugin:
goto Sync and select the menu (small triangle in the upper right corner). then click Schedule ... and there you can define Sync automatically and choose at what time.
