Netbeans: svn --ignore-externals workaround

Start netbeans with the following option:

# netbeans -J-DsvnClientAdapterFactory=commandline

Configure netbeans to use svn CLI:

Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous - Subversion

Preferred client: CLI
Path to the SVN executable File:
/home/user/bin



Create a svn shell script to append --ignore-externals for co and update svn commands:

# cd /home/user/bin
# vi svn

#!/bin/bash

CMD=`echo $* | cut -d" " -f1`

if test $CMD = co -o $CMD = update
then
  echo "/usr/bin/svn $* --ignore-externals"
  /usr/bin/svn $* --ignore-externals
else
  echo "/usr/bin/svn $*
  /usr/bin/svn $*
