How to change credentials for SVN repository in Eclipse?

Question

I have Eclipse 3.4.2 installed on Windows with subclipse. Another developer added an SVN repository with his credentials and selected \'Save password\'. Now every time I do

Answer 1

On Mac OS X, go to folder /$HOME (/Users/{user home}/). You will see file '.eclipse_keyring'. Remove it. All saved credentials will be lost.

Answer 2

I figured out the method I have written below, and it works perfectly for me

in eclipse, follow these simple steps: File -> Import -> type svn -> project from svn -> next -> Create a new repository location -> Next - > You would see "Secure Storage" below the Authentication Menu. Click on this button "Secure Storage" . This is the place where we can delete all the password caches. Now once you are here, follow these:

1. Under password tab, click "Clear passwords"
2. Under "contents" tab, go to SVN, select each sub options, and click on "Delete"
3. Restart eclipse

All the stored passwords are now gone, and you can use your new svn password to sync

Answer 3

In Eclipse: Ctrl + F8 -> SVN Repository Exploring -> Right Click in the respository -> Location Properties -> Finish ;)

Answer 4

In windows :

1. Open run type %APPDATA%\Subversion\auth\svn.simple
2. This will open svn.simple folder
3. you will find a file e.g. Big Alpha Numeric file
4. Delete that file.
5. Restart eclipse.
6. Try to edit file from project and commit it
7. you can see dialog asking userName password

It worked for me.... ;)

It's too simple to change username and password in Eclipse.

Just follow the following steps:

In your Eclipse,

Goto Window -> Show View -> Other -> (Type as) SVN Repositories -> click that(SVN Repositories) -> Right Click SVN Repositories -> Location Properties -> General tab change the following details for credentials.,

that's it.

On any Windows Version follow this path:

C:\Users\{user_name}\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth\svn.simple

Then delete the file with hexa decimal code inside this folder and restart your eclipse.
