Re: [Subclipse-dev] New Subclipse release posted

I changed my code so that it temporarily will bypass the cache in the
SVNClientManager.createSVNClient() method and instead create a new
instance of the correct client adapter every time I ask for it. When I
do that, everything works just fine. Well almost. It runs fine until I
start obtaining clients from known repositories. The method
SVNRepositoryLocation.getSVNClient() also uses the createSVNClient()
method so it will get the same client instance every time. This results
in clashes when the client receives different username/password settings
from different connections. I will encounter this regardless of client
implementation.

In essence, this is blocking me from using the new Sublipse version. I
can only bypass the SVNClientManager in experiments since I loose the
config directory setting and I cannot bypass the
SVNRepositoryLocation.getSVNClient() since that's where the password for
the location is assigned.

Do you want me to file a JIRA on this?

Thomas Hallgren
