Subclipse stopped working

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

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:

  1. go into Eclipse preferences
  2. expand Team
  3. select SVN
  4. change the SVN Interface dropdown box to “SVNKit (Pure Java) …”
  5. 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.
