Answer 1

I had same issue when SVN connector was not able to connect SVN repository in Eclipse.

Then, I do the following step's :-

• Right click on Project under Eclipse.
• Go to Team -> share Project.

It's working :)

Answer 2

The problem I had was that svn icons where not showing in the package explorer.

The solution for me was to delete the .metadata folder in the workspace folder (which will reset all your workspace including preferences and repository configurations)

After that all the icons appeared.

Answer 3

Even if you install everything as it is said, Subversive and SVN Connector (svnkit 1.x.x), in the project you may not see svn working. In my case I had to remove the project from workspace and import it again. Then it appears. (Refresh, clean did not worked).

Answer 4

I found a problem related to installing plugins here. I also could not get the SVN stuff to show up in the preferences because of some bug with the software updater updating the Mylin plugins. You'll likely have to get your Eclipse installation straightened out first and you can do this by just using a new workspace. You don't have to blow away the .metadata folder if you point Eclipse temporarily at a new workspace folder. When the Eclipse installation is clean, you can start installing plugins again, but make sure to uncheck the box labeled Contact all update sites during install to find required software

Eclipse uses local SVN libraries that are part of an installed plugin for SVN support, be it SVNkit or JavaHL. Netbeans uses SVN libraries that are installed independently.

Answer 5

If you want to completely start over with eclipse, you need to delete your workspace as well (the path you see when you first start eclipse). Just re-installing the eclipse files and pointing to the same default workspace will not change anything for you.

Your best bet is to remove eclipse and your workspace and start over because you probably inadvertently broke some other parts of the plug in while you were trying to fix your initial problem.

Answer 6

Just delete all projects from eclipse and Re-Import the all projects again. It is working for me. Just try it
