Great tortiose SVN tip for bringing back deleted files

I found the following on stack overflow very useful!

If you're using Tortoise SVN, you should be able to revert changes from just that revision into your working copy (effectively performing a reverse-merge), then do another commit to re-add the file. Steps to follow are:
  1. Browse to folder in working copy where you deleted the file.
  2. Go to repo-browser.
  3. Browse to revision where you deleted the file.
  4. In the change list, find the file you deleted.
  5. Right click on the file and go to "Revert changes from this revision".
  6. This will restore the file to your working copy, keeping history.
  7. Commit the file to add it back into your repository.
hints:

you can find the Revision number from the change logs, another good reason to make good commit commments!

I repeated the steps again for one file and it didn't have all the above options. But once in the repo browser I found you the actions 'copy' and 'copy to working...'  after which you will then need to run an update to get the file from the Head.

How to setup GXT 3 examples, samples and demos

Here's how I got the examples that come with GXT 3 working, in six simple steps! 1. Setup a GXT 3 app Setup your Gxt app as shown in the previous post on this blog; Quick Setup for GXT 3 . 2. Add additional jars In addition to the gxt jar there are several other jars that need to be added to the build path; gxt-3.0.0.jar gxt-chart-3.0.0.jar gxt-legacy-3.0.0.jar uibinder-bridge-2.4.0.jar gwt-dev.jar gin-1.5-post-gwt-2.2.jar guice-3.0.jar json-org.jar javax.persistence.jar javax.inject.jar That will fix all of the errors except for 2 in the file Folder.java, (I'm not sure how to fix that one yet, answers on a post card please. I tried using the  javax.persistence.jar from J2EE / Glassfish modules but this didn't fix it for me, so I just had the methods with errors return null ). 3. Import the examples Select the src folder in your project (eclipse), select "file import" navigate to the examples-src folder inside the gxt 3 download and se...
