I have been using the Mercurial Eclipse for MCU projects in System Workbench for STM32 IDE for a while. It allowed me to right click on a file or folder and use the compare with option in the context menu to compare against other file versions from the Mercurial repository. Recently due to a lack of support for a newer MCU, I had to move to the STM32CubeIDE. It is still eclipse based so I expected that I could install Mercurial Eclipse and have the same functionality. But what I have found is that the compare with context menu does not give the option to compare against previous versions. Even in the history view, I cannot compare one changeset against another.
It does appear that STM32CubeIDE uses a newer Eclipse version. The Eclipse versions are:
For STM32CubeIDE
Version: 4.19.0.v20210303-1800
Build id: I20210303-1800
For System Workbench
Version: 4.6.3.v20170301-0400
Build id: M20170301-0400
Does anyone know if there is a way to get these context menus to work with the newer Eclipse version?
I installed completely from scratch adt latest version with Juno, and I installed the latest subclipse plug-in (1.10) from the update site. However, once everything is installed I am not able to see the SVN data in the package explorer and in the context menu on the file no team option is available.
How can I investigate what's happening behind? I have not been able to find anything helping in google.
Some information from suggestions below:
I was having a previous installation of juno and I started from scratch in a new folder.
I am using the same workspace as before.
I have tried using subclipse alone, subversive alone and both installed at the same time.
The folder in workspace is recognized by Tortoise in windows, no corruption on SVN folder.
If you do not see the Share Project option in the Team menu, then I would guess the issue is that you are reusing an existing workspace and you had Subversive plugin, not Subclipse installed, and these projects were already connected to Subversive. So the Eclipse framework thinks it is associated with Subversive, but that plugin is not available to add its options to the Team menu.
Create a new workspace is one option. Install Subversive is another option.
UPDATE:
If you do see the Share Project option, then that is your answer. You need to take that option to "connect" your project to your SCM plugin. Projects that are already in your workspace when you install a new SCM plugin do not get connected to your SCM automatically. You have to take Team > Share Project to make the connection.
SOLUTION THAT WORKED:
For recognizing the existing installation of SVN you need to use Team > Share Project and then select the proper version control tool (SVN this case), automatically will associated SVN to the project.
I've looked at a lot of the git repositories, but I'm not sure which one to start with (and they're fairly large, so I want to avoid scanning 25 gig of data). Where would I find the code to handle CVS and Subversion integration?
You can browse all of the git repositories at http://git.eclipse.org/c/ . The one you want is http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.team.git/ (cloning URLs are shown at the bottom).
You can install the core Eclipse source including the CVS code in to Eclipse from Help > Install New Software. Work with http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3 for Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler) and choose Eclipse SDK. You can also download this as base Eclipse install (which is what I usually do).
Once you have this installed open Preferences > Plug-in Development and check Include all plug-ins from target in Java search. Once this is set the things like Navigate > Open Type and all the Java searches will include all the Eclipse source code.
Where the SVN code is depends on which SVN code you are using.
Update 2022: as illustrated by gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk issue 1100, and issue 915, everything is in the process to be transferred to GitHub.
The old (2014-2021) git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.team.git/ would therefore be soon (Q2 2022) be found under https://github.com/eclipse-platform.
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.team
I don't see any of the Subversion icons in Eclipse for a project that was clearly checked out from SVN (via the command line) I'm not sure when this stopped working.
I've tried both Subclipse and Subversive plugins, they both seem content. I've also reviewed the SVNKit vs. JavaHL stuff.
Symtoms:
No SVN icons
Right click on file, Team and Compare To don't have any SVN options
In Preferences / Team I now have two SVN trees, one for Subclipse, one for Subversive
Configuration:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard
Eclipse 3.6 Helios
Java / javac version 1.6.0_26 64-bit
svn version 1.6.15
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/subversion/lib:/usr/lib: (have also tried SVN Kit)
I'm at a loss, it's an odd problem to Google. Any thoughts?
You need to share your project first, using Team - Share project. During the wizard, it will detect .svn directories and ask if you want to keep them. Once shared, you'll see the SVN icons and additional menu items in the Team menu.
I had a similiar issue. My SVN repo version was 1.6.12 and was using svn connector SVNKit 1.3.x which is compatible with SVN1.6. I got all the team > ..options after doing team > share project
One day I pressed in Eclipse Help -> Check for Updates (and I learnt that I should Never Ever update a software which works fine.)
Then in a project that I used with SVN the whole submenu of "Team" and the little icons that showed that some files weren't commited, they all dissapeared.
I tried everything:
revert from Instalation History tab
uninstall from Installed Software tab
replaced the folder eclipse in Program Files with a new one downloaded from eclipse website and tried to install again
searched how to install it on the net
But in none of the cases above if I press Ctrl+N There is no SVN group;
If i right click on a project and select Team -> Share project, a window with CVS appears, but no SVN.
If I choose File -> Import I can't find SVN anywhere.
If I go to Help -> About Eclipse -> Instalation details I see at Instalation History in 25.06.2009, 09:59:08 GMT+03:00 (when SVN worked)
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers 1.2.0.20090621-0820
Subclipse (Required) 1.6.2
Subversion JavaHL Native Library Adapter (Required) 1.6.3
SVNKit Library 1.3.0.5847
In the Installed Software tab I have now installed

Subclipse (Required) 1.6.5 org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.feature.group

SVNKit Library 1.3.1.6109 org.tmatesoft.svnkit.feature.group
How can I make SVN to work?
Where does eclipse store its files, because when I changed the eclipse directory with a new one all my stuff was there (the ones that I installed with no success: SVN, Subversive, Subclipse, SVNKit, ...)
Subversive is my favorite SVN implementation in Eclipse because it works better than the others and it integrates neatly into the UI.
I suggest you follow these steps:
Download the most recent version of Eclipse (currently Galileo) and extract it to your desired installation location
Prior to running Eclipse, make sure you delete (or rename/relocate) your default workspace (under Windows this is workspace in your user directory)
Install the Subversive SVN Team Provider (as instructed by the Eclipse incubation website) using Eclipse's software installer:
Choose Help, then Install New Software...
Create a new download location and specify the following download URL: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo
Locate Collaboration, expand it, then check Subversive SVN Team Provider (Incubation)
Proceed through the installation and accept the TOS
Restart Eclipse and Subversive should prompt you to select a SVN Connector. Reading the symptoms you describe, it sounds like you don't have a connector installed, or it isn't communicating with your team provider. The Polarion website has a guide for choosing the connector best suited for you.
If you aren't prompted to install a connector, you can always do so from the preferences screen:
If the above doesn't work for you, it seems that your workspace isn't cleaned out. Locate your default workspace and try getting things working without any projects before you continue.
You could then also try deleting the .eclipse directory in your user directory. And starting over from step 3.
The problem I had was that svn icons where not showing in the package explorer.
The solution for me was to delete the .metadata folder in the workspace folder (which will reset all your workspace including preferences and repository configurations)
After that all the icons appeared.
I had same issue when SVN connector was not able to connect SVN repository in Eclipse.
Then, I do the following step's :-
Right click on Project under Eclipse.
Go to Team -> share Project.
It's working :)
I found a problem related to installing plugins here. I also could not get the SVN stuff to show up in the preferences because of some bug with the software updater updating the Mylin plugins. You'll likely have to get your Eclipse installation straightened out first and you can do this by just using a new workspace. You don't have to blow away the .metadata folder if you point Eclipse temporarily at a new workspace folder. When the Eclipse installation is clean, you can start installing plugins again, but make sure to uncheck the box labeled Contact all update sites during install to find required software
Eclipse uses local SVN libraries that are part of an installed plugin for SVN support, be it SVNkit or JavaHL. Netbeans uses SVN libraries that are installed independently.
I have had this happen before with Eclipse and the various SVN plugins that it supports. The SVN plugin, for some reason, sometimes looses the SVN connection. Your best bet is to simply delete the project and re-check it out of svn. If you have changes that need to be committed you can use the command line.
Another problem you may have is that your plugin and your repository are out of sync in terms of version numbers. I have had problems before using a plugin designed for svn 1.6.x and a repository that was still at svn 1.4 or 1.5.
Just delete all projects from eclipse and Re-Import the all projects again.
It is working for me.
Just try it
If you want to completely start over with eclipse, you need to delete your workspace as well (the path you see when you first start eclipse). Just re-installing the eclipse files and pointing to the same default workspace will not change anything for you.
Your best bet is to remove eclipse and your workspace and start over because you probably inadvertently broke some other parts of the plug in while you were trying to fix your initial problem.
Even if you install everything as it is said, Subversive and SVN Connector (svnkit 1.x.x), in the project you may not see svn working. In my case I had to remove the project from workspace and import it again. Then it appears. (Refresh, clean did not worked).
