Please note, that Java Builder of Eclipse IDE sometimes confuses .svn
folders and files in them in your source folder as resources and
copies them into /bin. Thus, /bin becomes a nested working copy.

Because *.java files are not copied and are missing, its status is "modified".

Also, sometimes that "copy" is corrupted, because some files are
missing from the copied .svn folders, or were overwritten if the /bin
folder itself belongs to Subversion or if you have several source
folders.

I do not know, whether your Vista shows those .svn subfolders or not.
You can check the Subversion tab of the properties dialog for the /bin
folder, and Check for modifications dialog in TortoiseSVN.

It does not depend on the operating system, but on how lucky you are
and what actions you do perform. I think that there is a race
condition between the team plugin (Subclipse, Subversive - I observed
the problem with both of them) and the java builder. You are more
likely to see it after performing Import of Existing Project.

My current solution whenever I encounter it is to 1. Delete project
from the workspace, 2. Delete all files from /bin folder, or better
the folder itself, 3. Turn automatic compilation off, 4. Import
project, 5. Wait until all svn indexing completes. 6. Turn automatic
compilation on.

Best regards,
