In Ecli

Answer 1

In eclipse goto preferences

Goto General -> Apperance -> Label Decorations -> Unckeck GIT

or SVN if you are using SVN. In my case i am using GIT.

Answer 2

The selection of a leaf of your tree is the default behavior of the underlying Tree Widget which is rendered by your operating system. Since a native Tree doesn't know something about Decorators (the '>' is drawn by a decorator from your team provider) the text of a leaf contains the '>' character. To open a resource use the much more comfortable shortcut Ctrl+Shift+R

Answer 3

Preferences Team > SVN > Label Decorations. You can change the format (and thus the position) in Text Decorations (e.g. "File": "{outgoing_flag} {name} {revision}") and set non-textual icons for outgoing changes in Icons Decorations.

This is for Subversive team provider, Subclipse uses a different design. Maybe you will find the settings two times.
