Associating existing Eclipse project with existing SVN repository

Question

I have an eclipse project on my hard disk  which is a fairly recent check out from an SVN repository  I ve imported this project into my Eclipse workspace  and now want to associate it with the SVN repository    How do I do this  The only options I seem to have under Right-click -  Team is  Share Project   which only seems to allow me to do an initial import   Edit  Motivation - It s a largish repository  and I don t really want to have to import the whole thing over the network   Edit 2  There are  for some reason  no  svn dirs in the project  So maybe a fresh import from svn is the only option

I am using Tortoise SVN client  You can alternativley check out the required project from SVN in some folder  You can see a  SVN folder inside the project  Copy the  SVN folder into the workspace folder  Now remove the project from eclipse and import the same again into eclipse  You can see now the project is now associated with svn

I m asked this question very frequently  if it s smart to use  Share project     if a eclipse project has been disconnected from it SVN counterpart in the repository  So  I append my answer to this thread   The SVN-Team option  Share project      is totally fine for projects that exist in SVN and in your Eclipse workspace  even if the Eclipse project is missing the hidden  svn configuration  You can still connect them  Eclipse SVN-implementation  Subclipse Subversive  will verify if the provided SVN http s  source is populated  If yes  all existing files will be copied and linked  checked out in SVN terms  to your very personal Eclipse workspace    Word of caution     Do a backup if you depend on you local files  The SVN implementation may vary its behaviour with every release    If you have multiple projects encapsulated within each other  make sure you point the SVN path to the correct local path    regards  Feder

Try this- Close the project then open it  It links with svn automatically if project was checked out from valid svn path

In case of SVN servers you have to creating a central repository with all projects  The contents of the repository can be uploaded with the Team Share command  in case of the Subversive client it automatically runs a commit after the import  so you can upload your files   This step cannot be circumvented in any way using a centralized version management system such as SVN

I just wanted to add that if you don t see Team -  Share project  it s likely you have to remove the project from the workspace before importing it back in   This is what happened to me  and I had to remove and readd it to the workspace for it to fix itself    This happened when moving from dramatically different Eclipse versions   plugins using the same workspace    subclipse not showing  quot share project quot  option on project context menu in eclipse

Team- gt Share project is exactly what you need to do  Select SVN from the list  then click  Next   Subclipse will notice the presence of  svn directories that will ask you to confirm that the information is correct  and associate the project with subclipse

I came across the same issue  I checked out using Tortoise client and then tried to import the projects in Eclipse using import wizard  Eclipse did not recognize the svn location  I tried share option as mentioned in the above posts and it tried to commit these projects into SVN  But my issue was a version mismatch  I selected svn 1 8 version in eclipse  I was using 1 7 in eclipse and 1 8 8 in tortoise  and then re imported the projects  It resolved with no issues
