Subclipse svn ignore

Question

I m new to Eclipse  I m using subclipse for connecting to my SVN   There are some folders and files I would like to add to svn ignore  but it s grayed out   Is there an easy way to get subclipse to ignore files and directories

I was able to do this using TortoiseSVN directly from Windows explorer:

Right click on file to ignore->TortiseSVN->Delete and add to ignore list

I had to close then re-open the project in Eclipse, job done :)

This is just a WAG as I am not a Subclipse user  but have you ensured that the folders containing what you re trying to ignore have themselves been added to SVN   You can t svn ignore something inside a folder that s not under version control

It seems Subclipse only allows you to add a top-level folder to ignore list and not any sub folders under it  Not sure why it works this way  However  I found out by trial and error that if you directly add a sub-folder to version control  then it will allow you to add another folder at the same level to the ignore list     For example  refer fig above  when I wanted to ignore the webapp folder without adding src  subclipse was not allowing me to do so  But when I added the java folder to version control  the  add to svn ignore     was enabled for webapp

to ignore certain files or turn off ignoring you can use the eclipse preferences-- Team -- Ignored Resource  Check or uncheck the resources you want to be tracked

You can t svn ignore a file that is already commited to repository    So you must    Delete the file from the repository  Update your project  the working copy  to the head revision  Recreate the file in Eclipse  Set svn ignore on the file via Team- Add to svn ignore  Restart eclipse to reflect changes    Good luck

This is quite frustrating  but it s a containment issue  the  svn folders keep track also of ignored files   Any item that needs to be ignored is to be added to the ignore list of the immediate parent folder   So  I had a new sub-folder with a new file in it and wanted to ignore that file but I couldn t do it because the option was grayed out  I solved it by committing the new folder first  which I wanted to  it was a cache folder   and then adding that file to the ignore list  of the newly added folder  -   having the chance to add a pattern instead of a single file

I just figured out how to do this   It appears that when you add a parent folder to version control  Eclipse adds all sub-folders   Once the sub-folders are added to version control  it is not possible to ignore them   Here s how to do it   Right click on the top level folder and add to version control Right click on the child folder you want to ignore  revert Right click on the child folder you want to ignore  svn ignore  which will now be available

If you are trying to share a project in SVN with Eclipse for the first time  you might want to avoid certain files to be commited  In order to do so  go to Preferences- Team- Ignored Resources  In this screen you just need to add a pattern to ignore the kind of files you don t want to commit

In case you re using TortoiseSVN and the file is already commited  go to your files project folder  right click on the file folder you want to ignore  TortoiseSVN -  Unversion and add to ignore list  Then you delete the folder file  click on it and then push DELETE on your keyboard   right click on your project folder  -  SVN Commit     This will delete the folder from the repository     Now you can create your folder file again and then it will be ignored

Working with Subclipse on Eclipse Indigo Service Release 2  I had commited folders with temporary files and logs lying under  src to the SVN repository  And after realizing it  I found myself in the same situation with a grayed out  svn ignore   I found following solution   1  I deleted the folder from my Project Source  2  Team -  Commit    withouth the folder  3  Recreated the folder back into the project tree  Now I was able to use  Team -  Add to svn ignore

One more thing    If you already ignored those files through Eclipse  with Team -  Ignored resources  you have to undo these settings so the files are controlled by Subclipse again and  Add to svn ignore  option reappears
