Subversive SVN Connectors does not appear in eclipse juno

Question

the Subversive SVN Connectors does not appear after rebooting eclipse Juno IDE after installing svn from the eclipse marketplace.

any ideas?

Because of this issue i cannot assign a svn connector to the svn eclipse plugin so therefore it cannot do any svn features at all.

i am running windows 8 and tried to run eclipse in Admin mode but still no joy. anywhere i can download the connectors manually and if so, where do i install it?

I think you can install also connectors from Eclipse Marketplace – Abnormity

I cant find them in the marketplace. they dont seem to be there – Guertin

I did find the connectors from the Yoxos marketplace but after i rebooted eclipse, SVN still cannot find a connector – Guertin

I accidentally cancelled the dialog when it first showed. It really is a bad design that can't give you a second chance. – Dictaphone

Answer 1

Might help someone...

From polarion use this update site. I installed just

1. subversive SVN Connectors
2. SVNKit 1.7.5.v1 Implementation
3. SVN Team provider connectors source

After this I found in eclipse preferences Team->SVN has the svn kit 1.7.5 selected and everything started to working.

This is really a solution – Felecia

Just remove .metadata folder in your workspace directory and restart

then windows -> preference -> team -> svn click. It will appear

This Helped me using Indigo. I installed subclipse, but initially cancelled out of the Subversive Connector Discovery dialog. Then could not figure out how to get it back or install connectors – Leggat

Worked, but removed all project from work space but just re import the projects. – Silver

Worked in JUNO, simple steps, easy to fix – Bulimia

This deletes the workspace! All settings will be gone. If it is a new workspace no problem, but other otherwise you will loose all settings and will have to re-import all projects. – Uuge

You should warn about the side effects of your solution (maybe put a link to questions about metadata or something) – Allocate

Worked in Luna. I really would have liked another intuitive way to open the connectors window. – Qualified

Please explicitly mention the eclipse version for which this worked. Doesn't work for my eclipse 4.5 & deletes the workspace. – Build

Worked for me in NeonJEE. Thanks – Serration

Answer 3

For me, switching to a fresh workspace fixed the issue. I followed this link. The automatic connector discovery tool popped up once I switched to a new workspace.

I cannot add new comments. Just facing same problem. Updating @Saran answer:

Eclipse Mars site is

http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/5.0/mars-site/

Eclipse Luna site is

http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/4.0/luna-site/

Eclipse Kepler site is

http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/3.0/kepler-site/

You can install svn conectors manually from there.

(Remember: Help menu -> Install new software -> paste site url)

Answer 5

Can I suggest the CollabNet Eclipse desktop instead of the Marketplace SVN?

http://desktop-eclipse.open.collab.net/

I've found its installation to be much less painful than any other way of getting SVN into Eclipse.

Answer 6

Switching workspaces worked.

Also for newer Subversive version`s, the connectors show on the: windows > preferences > team > svn (in a tab inside this window), instead of the old svn > connectors menu.

Answer 7

1. Close your Eclipse.
2. In your workspace directory, open (.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.team.svn.ui.prefs).
3. Change the option firstStartup=false to firstStartup=true.
4. Re-open Eclipse again.
