SVN client integration into Eclipse

Question

I had integrated a Subclipse plugin into the Eclipse to perform SVN related operations.

I had successfully checked-in, checked-out and commited my project to the SVN.

But now when I am trying to commit or update my project, it is showing the following error

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Unsupported working copy format

svn: This client is too old to work with working copy 'D:\EclipseWorkspace\EMSEclipse'; please get a newer Subversion client

I had tried to update the plugin through HELP >> SOFTWARE UPDATES... of the Eclipse but it is saying that the software is up to date and no newer version is available.

Should I switch to some other SVN Client. If yes, then could you please suggest me any other SVN Client for Eclipse?

Answer 1

Subclipse has different update sites for the 1.4 and 1.6 branches. So if you are using 1.4, it won't have updates. Get the 1.6 update site.

Whenever the subclipse plugin is not sufficient for you, you can download Turtoise SVN - it is a full-featured SVN client.

I am using Eclipse 3.4.2 and Subclipse 1.0.7. Is this combination creating problem? ........... I had been using Tortoise SVN external to Eclipse. But now I want something that can work within Eclipse. I think Tortoise SVN doesn't work with Eclipse. Rigth? – Phyla

subclipse 1.0.7 is waay old. Move to 1.6.x. Turtoise SVN is not working with eclipse, but is useful sometimes. – Accession

Answer 2

Subversive is the other Eclipse client for SVN

But for your error, the solution is indeed to upgrade. Did you check the Download and installation process?

As documented, get the right version of JavaHL.

@Yatendra: for eclipse3.4.x, you should have at least Subclipse1.4.x or more recent. Subclipse1.0.x was for Eclipse3.0. – Starshaped

Answer 3

Haven't personally seen that error before. The other popular SVN client for Eclipse is Subversive in-case you want to try that.
