Hi I have Eclipse Mars Installed, I have imported git repository (Having PHP code inside). Open perspective is "Git". Once I open eclipse, it says no repository has been selected. I click on repository, it shows progress bar (I guess git status might be running at background). Then it detects the changes that I made last time before closing the Eclipse. But since this point of time no any further file changes are getting detected by eclipse unless & until I restart it & follow the steps as mentioned above. Is there any refresh button that eclipse has in git perspective ?
Please see the below screenshot which has refresh button in the git perspective, hope you are in this view.
For Android development I'm using Eclipse Indigo and Subclipse 1.6.18.
I happened to notice today that when I go to Window > Open Perspective I see two SVN Repository Perspectives. One says "SVN Repository Exploring" and the other says the same thing but inside angle brackets, i.e,
"<SVN Repository Exploring>".
The first one brings up a blank window; the angle-bracket one brings up a window with my repositories in an upper tab and "task repositories" in a lower tab.
I also noticed that if I go to Help > Install New Software and show what's already installed,and uninstall all the Subclipse components, and restart Eclipse, these two SVN perspectives still exist. They don't work anymore because of missing SVN components but they're still there.
So where do these two SVN repository perspectives come from and why one with, and one without, angle-brackets? Thanks in advance.
You can have two if you have both Subclipse and Subversive installed. However, note that your workspace also will save and remember perspectives, particularly if you customize and save them. Try starting Eclipse with a new workspace and see if they go away.
My question can be claimed to be an extension/similar to the question posted here.
basically, I need to do the same functionality using Eclipse plugin Subclipse. Subclipse has a functionality to "Switch branch/tag/revision", however, this is limited as it treats the new url as a repository and tries to compare them. I only wish to change the URL.
any ideas!
From SVN Repository Exploring perspective right click on your project repository and choose Relocate.. from contextual menu:
It will bring up a confirmation windows showing you active projects which will be affected by relocation.
In more recent versions of Eclipse/Subversive (which don't have the Relocate option) you can simply click Location Properties instead and change the URL. It will warn you that "The attached projects will be relocated because the repository root URL differs from the previously entered one." This is what you want!
I had the similar issue on Eclipse Luna 4.4.2 64 bit version. Initially I've relocated the project on the command line and Eclipse failed to recognize the relocation change. Alternatively I've tried to delete and re-import the projects, but sadly this approach failed to work out as well. Then sorted it out this way;
Closed all the projects,
Opened the SVN Repository Exploring perspective,
Right clicked on the repository >> Location properties,
In the properties pane, I've changed the url and in the below I choose "Use the repository URL as the label" clicked on finish,
Switched back to the Java perspective and reopened the projects.
After this alteration Eclipse stopped giving such errors and I was able to see the new root address of each project on the right side of the name
I found that if the projects that are related with the SVN you are trying to relocate are open in Eclipse, the operation fails with the following error in the 'SVN Console':
switch --relocate http://old.scm.com/svn/APP http://new.scm.com/svn/APP .../webapp
svn: E155019: Cannot relocate '...\webapp' as it is not the root of a working copy
svn: E155019: Cannot relocate '...\webapp' as it is not the root of a working copy
The solution was to close all the projects (Project Explorer -> right click on the project -> Close Project) and only after that, do the URL relocation in the SVN window (SVN Repositories window -> right click on the URL of the old SVN -> Relocate).
Notice that that the box 'Projects that will be relocated:' on the following screen is empty. Before it showed all the open projects in Eclipse IDE.
This was they only way I got it to succeed.
Using Eclipse Kepler Service Release 2, with Subclipse 1.10.10.
I'm trying to set a key binding for showing Mercurial history of active file (Team|Show History in context menu) in PyDev perspective. All I see in Mercurial category in Window|Preferences|General|Keys pertaining to history is Show Root History command. After setting a key binding for this command and pressing appropriate keys nothing happens. Also I don't see any command of interest pertaining to history in Team category in the same window.
This problem seems to be very similar to the one with SVN key bindings described in SVN key bindings not working in Eclipse question. However, in the Customize Perspective dialog for PyDev perspective, on Command Groups Availability tab there's no Mercurial entry analogues to SVN entry mentioned in the above question.
I'm using Eclipse Indigo, Version: 3.7.0, Build id: I20110310-1119, PyDev 2.0.1 and MercurialEclipse 1.8.1
This might have been solved in the meantime, but in my current Indigo version (Eclipse for PHP developers 3.0.2 with MercurialEclipse 1.9.1) a Show History command is available in the Mercurial category of key shortcuts. Setting a binding to this one will work as expected, aka showing the hg history for the currently selected file.
That's a pity that the Show Root History does not work at all, I'd need that one :)
I've got a working copy checked out with svn; furthermore, I've created a new project in Eclipse that has the root of the working copy as the project's location. I want to be able to do stuff like compare versions from Eclipse. I have Subclipse 1.4.8, but that doesn't seem to give me what I want. Am I doing something wrong?
i have an svn working copy that also is a project in eclipse. after installing the subclipse plugin i had the same problem, the working copy was not recognized as such.
i just managed by chance to get it recognized as an svn working copy by renaming the project in question and then renaming it back to its old name. not very nice, but it did the trick :-)
There is an option when creating a new project, to use an existing source directory:
New project/ new Java Project / Create project from existing source.
Use that, tell it where your source lives, and it should automatically detect if it's a SVN working copy.
I guess this is not possible with Subclipse as it's given in its documentation that, you can only import an existing svn-managed folder under one condition, according to the doc:
"The only requirement is that your
working copy has to also be a valid
Eclipse project."
So, if you have a working copy that is not a complete eclipse project, Subclipse will not connect it to SVN.
You can right click on the root node of your project and select: Team / Share project
Then you choose SVN, let the default settings and it should work fine!
I am answering this after a long time of the question being asked. I ended up here because I was facing the same problem.
My solution was to create an empty .svn folder at the root folder of the project (in the latest version of svn client tortoise all meta-data is at the root folder). Then did an eclipse refresh and voila it did the trick. I am running subclipse core - 1.8.4.
One step that seemed to work for me, that no one has explicitly mentioned yet: I closed and then re-opened the project. I tried the "rename" trick, above, and that didn't work, but perhaps the poster of that answer also closed the project - they didn't detail exactly what steps they went thru to rename it. (I found you don't have to close the project to rename it, but perhaps they did.)
< /rob>
In my case, I couldn't use an existing copy because I checked out the code using a newer version of Subversion on the command-line and Subclipse 1.4 couldn't recognize it. Upgrading and going through the improved "Share Project" menu resolved the problem.
I got this tip from the forums here:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1047&dsMessageId=2380064
I had the same issue and here are the details of the fix.
My Eclipse is "Helios Service Release 1".
I had an SVN checkout on my filesystem, I went to New Java Project, unchecked Use default location, chose the location, went to next step, chose the source folder and said Finish.
The project came up with no disk icon on it. As per few forum posts, right-clicked on the project, went to Team > Share Project, chose SVN, clicked Next, and the option was only to share the files to the SVN Repository for the first time.
I said Cancel, and the option is to make changes to the SVN plug-in settings. Went to Window menu, chose Preferences, browsed Team> SVN. Chose the SVN Connector tab, changed the SVNKit 1.2.3 to SVNKit 1.3.5 and said OK.
Then, right clicked on the project, said Team> SVN, on the next screen, chose the option Use Project Settings and clicked Finish. The disk button came to the project and the SVN URL got displayed on it.
Add the repository to your list of repositories in subclipse by choosing Window->Show View->Other... and choose SVN->SVN Repositories. Put in all the necessary info to connect to the repository.
Next, right click the repository and choose "checkout". If the project doesn't already have an eclipse .project file, you can create a new project from the source. If it already has a .project file, it will import that .project and use that as your eclipse project locally.
It will definitively not work if you use a different version of svn to checkout, that the one that is supported by Eclipse. I had this problem as I used svn 1.6 to checkout but I had an older eclipse version that had only 1.5. Subclipse has its own build-in svn client (Actually, in two flavors if I am not mistaken).
Check that the subclipse version matches the svn client that you used to checkout. You can check the plugin version number for subclipse (Help -> About -> Click on subversion logo) and match it against svn --version
This worked for me:
1) Go to the 'SVN Repository Exploring' perspective and add a folder somewhere above your working copy
2) Close and open the Eclipse projects.
This should then be enough to get them recognized by Subclipse.
I have encountered a similar situation were existing projects would not get associated with the Subversive plugin. Unfortunately, none of the previous suggestions helped (renaming projects etc.). What has helped is removing projects from Eclipse by deleting them -- just the projects from Package Explorer and not the actual directories and files on disc (the deletion prompt has a special checkbox for that, which is unchecked by default) -- and reimporting the deleted projects as existing projects back.
Of course, as mentioned in some of the answers here, the relevant SVN repositories need to be registered with Eclipse before reimporting the projects. Otherwise, there would no repositories to re-associate the projects with.
When you open a versioned project (i.e., a project in SVN working copy) in Eclipse, that was never previously used with Subclipse, you need to perform these steps:
Right-click the project in Project Explorer.
Select Team | Share Project.
At this point Subclipse will tell you that "The project is already configured with SVN repository information". Click Next.
Subclipse automatically recognizes this project as versioned and all the features of the SVN plug-in should become available.
