Re: SVN/Eclipse problems

I had similar problems. I got around it by creating my Subversion working
copies via TortoiseSVN, and then doing an "Import project" from WSAD
(Eclipse). The plugin will recognize the projects when Eclipse loads them.

Apparently, the problem is that, when creating a new project, Eclipse very
helpfully creates a .project file. Insists, even. And then no version
control system wants to overwrite the writable file that Eclipse so
helpfully created. I've seen the same problem with other version control
plugins, too.

Anyway, follow my model - create the working copies via TortoiseSVN (or
the svn command line client), and then "import" them, and everything works
fine.

I am new to Subversion.  I built and installed SVN 1.1.0RC3 for linux 
and I can access it just fine from the command line from both unix and 
windows.
Then I attempted the Eclipse integration, and I can't get it to work. 
Perhaps you haven't tested with Eclipse Version: 3.0.1 (Build id: 
200409161125) yet?
I use the update site (http://subclipse.tigris.org/update) to install 
the plugin.  I can successfully browse the svn repository, but when I 
attempt to check out a project I start getting errors.
First, it usually fails to somehow "register" the checked out files 
within Eclipse, so eclipse claims there is no ".project" file.  In fact, 
none of the files show up in the package explorer.  If I shut Eclipse 
down and restart it, I can now see the files, but when I right click on 
a directory name in the package browser, I get a stack overflow error. 
Also, none of the "team" options for any of the checked out files shows 
any svn options available.
Please let me know what other information would be useful in figuring 
this out, as I'm very excited about migrating from CVS to SVN but I'm 
stuck at the moment.
