Subclipse provides a friendly interface to a Subversion repository. I’ve been using it for years. Just a few days ago I noticed that my files were no longer decorated with the repository icons. The project looked like a regular project as if it wasn’t checked out. I was able to troubleshoot this and fix the issue by doing the following:
- go into Eclipse preferences
- expand Team
- select SVN
- change the SVN Interface dropdown box to “SVNKit (Pure Java) …”
- click apply
if your project doesn’t immediately change, you can right click the project and close it and then reopen. Hope this helps someone else.
