Display current branch name in Eclipse/Subclipse

Question

I have a project set-up within Eclipse which is linked to our SVN repository using Subclipse. Is there a way to display the name of the current branch I'm in next to project. I'm sure I've seen this before but it's not there now and I can't find out how to switch this feature on anywhere. Hope you can help.

Thanks.

By default subclipse will present the current branch info (in square brackets) next to the project name inside the Package Explorer view.

This is customizable inside the Window -> Preferences window under the following location:

Team -> SVN -> Label decorations (Text tab) -> Project Format

If you somehow lost your default setting, here it is:

{dirty_flag}{name} [{url_short}]

Thanks Wojtek. That wasn't the issue but through looking at that I found the problem. General -> Appearance -> Label Decorations My "SVN" checkbox was unchecked. Think this must have occurred when I uninstalled my previous version of subclipse. When I installed the latest version it clearly never rechecked that box. – Durbin

OK, glad I could be of any help then. – Endoplasm

I also had same issue (SVN checkbox was unchecked). Thanks for saving my day. – Argyrol
