This function is initiated via the Team > Share context menu.
The share process allows you to add or identify your project to version control.
There are two scenarios for sharing a project. The first is the process of taking a brand new project in your Eclipse workspace and importing it into a repository so that it can be managed by SVN. This process is covered in the section that describes importing a new project into a SVN repository. The second scenario is where you already have an existing SVN working copy in your Eclipse workspace and you want to connect to using the SVN plug-in for Eclipse. This is covered in the section detailing connecting to an existing project.
