We recently migrated from CVS to subversion and I am still trying to find functionality in svn we had n cvs with myEclipse (or eclipse in general). I am trying to update the trunk (what we used to call head in cvs) with a package from a branch. the trick is that this package is a new one (with new classes) that does not exist in Trunk. In addition we have other packages and classes we have changed in the branch that I do not want in the trunk yet. Because of this I simply can not merge all of /src. It was so much more simple with cvs because i could right click on files in the compare mode and update that way. So what would be the easiest way to get a new package from a branch into trunk and only the new package and its classes? Thanks in advance for any help.

very helpful docmentation but does not discuss moving a single file or package froma branch to the trunk if the file does not exist in the trunk with out moving all files on the same level (full merge) but I appreciate the info 🙂
