Re: SSH passphrase

JavaSVN now caches information in the Eclipse keyring. I do not believe
that Eclipse provides any tools for working with the information that is
stored in the keyring. The online help certainly doesn't mention it.

You can add the following command line options when starting Eclipse:

-keyring /path/to/somefile -password something_to_encrypt_with

I am not sure what the default is if you do not specify these. I would
guess that is the file named ",keyring" in the folder
"configuration/org.eclipse.core.runtime". I would try renaming it so that
Eclipse just creates a new empty default keyring.

Because JavaSVN uses a persistent SSH connection, I found in testing that
it was very workable to specify the keyfile and passphrase each time and
not allow it to cache this information. I would only get asked for this
one time after starting Eclipse.
