title: alternative to maven scm connector subclipse (not working with subclipse1.8)?
body: <p>So for my project I am in need of Subclipse 1.8.x. This has been well and good, but the maven SCM handler for subclipse is only compatible with Subclipse 1.6.x. I like this plugin because it automatically loads modules (and detects them), so you can store your poms in a hierarchical fashion in svn. ( parent / module + module / module) etc. and checking out a multi-module maven project with the handler only requires one check out.</p>
  
  <p>Since I cannot count on that working, how should I store multi-module maven projects in svn? Store them flat-level (Eclipse-style) in svn, check them out one at a time with help of m2e - the parent, and then each module individually? would that play nice with subclipse? I don't want to store auto-generated files, just resources, poms, and source files.</p>
  
  <p>There is also this: <a href="https://github.com/sonatype/m2eclipse-subclipse/pull/4">https://github.com/sonatype/m2eclipse-subclipse/pull/4</a>
  Apparently that is a solution, and that enables the svn protocol for checking out multi-maven projects via scm (even with Subclipse 1.8.x). However, when I put it in my dropins folder in eclipse, I stil don't see the connector?</p>
  
  <p>The dropin structure can be seen below, should work according to what I've read, but I am still unable to find the scm handler even after restarting eclipse. I want to begin development but this is holding us back.</p>
