Re: Help: deleting package roots in eclipse broke svn

Nope, didn't work

cd workspace/jwaa
svn up
Working copy src/edu not locked

The problem isn't how to recover src/edu and src/edu/virtualschool
per se (they're empty except for numerous subdirectories, which still
contain the needed files). The problem is how to get svn to recognize
the subdirectories.

I know; the relationship between Java packages and Unix directories
is confusing, especially with IDE's like eclipse in the middle, doing
their level best to obscure things.

Perhaps this will make it clear.

cd workspace/jwaa
ls -Ra src
src:
. .. edu log4j.properties META-INF .svn

src/edu:
. .. virtualschool

src/edu/virtualschool:
. .. jwaa

src/edu/virtualschool/jwaa:
. GenericServlet.java StringUtil.java
.. GenericURI.java .svn
AccountAbstraction.java IgnorableFault.java swing

...and so forth

Note src and src/edu/virtuascool/jwaa have .svn directories, src/edu
and src/edu/virtualschool do not.

Ideas?
