Re: [Subclipse-users] help with subclipse error message in the eclipse console

Geez, I changed the message to something like 7 lines of detail with a link
to an FAQ with even more information and yet you did not say anything about
what the error message is telling you is the problem?

This "situation" typically occurs for every file in the project so I
changed the code so that it only send an error message 1-time per
"session". That is why you do not see it repeated.

The FAQ has more details but what it comes down to is that Subversion has
given us the path shown in the message, we then ran an Eclipse API to give
us the Eclipse IResource for that path and it gave us a null. The typical
cause is the one stated -- that the case is different. Given that the OS X
file system is case-preserving but not case-senstive (same as Windows) this
is most likely the cause. For example, Eclipse might know your workspace
path as /users... instead of /Users. You should be able to navigate to the
resource shown in the message using the Eclipse Navigator view.
Right-click and choose Properties, then click on the Resource property
page. This will show the full path as Eclipse sees it. Something in that
path will differ in case from the true path that the filesystem reports.

As the FAQ states, the other easy workaround is to use the JavaSVN adapter.
Since it is written in Java and running from Eclipse it gets all of its
paths in the same case as Eclipse so the problem is not triggered.
