Eclipse (Kepler) What is required to enable SVN Connector: Under "Team->SVN"?

Question

I have installed the latest Eclipse (Kepler) into a new directory and can no longer access my repositories through Eclipse.

As far as I can tell, I've set up everything properly after 2 days of trying to fix this.

wtf?

Should I just ditch the supposedly better, newer Eclipse and go back a step so I can at least work?

Solution 1

One important detail in resolving this issue was remembering that I wanted to keep my workspace. When I decided to start from scratch, I backed up the workspace, and then copied over only the directories that I needed, instead of the entire workspace as I had been doing.

The result of starting fresh is that some hidden files residing in the old workspace were not longer present and the triggers for installing the connector executed properly.

everything was fine after that.

Solution 2

I've never had this problem in Linux, but I recently had it in Windows. This is what I did:

1. Go to http://www.polarion.com/products/svn/subversive/download.php
   (the link that Dollyn posted)
2. Under the latest Release, copy the Subversive SVN Connectors URL
   • The current URL for Eclipse 4.3 Kepler: http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/3.0/kepler-site/
3. In Eclipse, go to the Help menu → Install New Software...
4. Click Add...
5. In Location copy the URL for the Subversive SVN Connectors
6. Click OK
7. Check Subversive SVN Connectors
8. Click Next, and then follow the instructions to complete installation

I was also facing the same the problem. Solution is simple just delete metadata folder from current workspace or create the new workspace.
