STS/Eclipse version control plugins

STS/Eclipse has a number of plugins which make it easy to work with your version control system right in your IDE. Which one you install largely depends on which version control system you're working with.

If you're working with Subversion, you'll want to use the Subversive plugin. There is also a Subclipse plugin which apparently does the same thing, but I haven't had time to try it out as I've been quite happy with Subversive and if it's not broken...

If you're working with Git, you'll want to use the EGit plugin. I've used this plugin to hook up my projects with GitHub and haven't had any major dramas with it so far.
