[news.eclipse.newcomer] Newb: Where to start with asset tracking?

[darendash@xxxxxxxxxx (Dave)]

I'm brand new to this site, a bit overwhelmed.

I'm looking for a system that tracks assets (files, including art) through 
a lifecycle: requirements, docs, bugs, and preferably schedules. Things 
need to be tracked from conception, design, implementation, testing, to 
deployment. Must be open (allow plugins), prefer works with SVN, Mantis, 
but hey. Reports and alerts and all that would be good.

Googling around, Eclipse looks like it's got potential.

Not being one to want to reinvent any wheels, does anyone know if I'm now 
barking up the right tree?

I come from a LAMP world (javascript, not java, but PHP). I'm hoping that 
between the open source, community, and some custom plugin programming, I 
can put this together. Am I far off the mark?
