Within eclipse, with Subclipse installed, if I right click a project and select "team" there are normally 2 options:
apply patch
share project
Once you have shared project you get the full Subclipse menu from "team"
One project however only has one option - apply patch. If I close the project I see both options but the share project option is grayed out.
I have other projects where this is not happening.
What could be special about this project to stop me getting the share project option? Is there another path to the share project function I could use?
Regards
Solve this problem with these steps:
Verify that you can update using TortoiseSVN (this will guarantee that your .svn is not corrupt)
Delete all your projects that have this problem, but in the delete dialog, do not delete the project contents!
Select File -> Import -> Existing projects into Workspace.
Select your projects folder or your workspace folder.
Subeclipse should now detect and connect your projects automatically, without need to select 'Share Project' for each one of them.
This is usually the case when the directory containing the project is not properly under version control (bad or corrupted .svn).
So:
can you execute SVN commands in a shell a the root of your project?
where are your .project and .classpath files (in the eclipse workspace or at the root directory of your project?)
If you upgraded your Eclipse recently, make sure you're still using the same SVN plugins... :)
In my case, I upgraded my Eclipse and accidentally installed Subversive instead of Subclipse. The existing .svn directory of the project contained data in the format expected by Subclipse, and so Subversive got confused (e.g. but not showing the "Share Project" option).
Close Project and Re-Open project has worked for me.
I have the same problem after emergency-migrating (again!) from Subversive to Subclipse.
Old .svn entries are all there but Subclipse won't pick them up.
I can successfully commit using an external tool, in this case TortoiseSVN, but in Eclipse, I just see normal Java projects that cannot be shared (because of stale .svn entries I suspect).
The only solution I see is to commit everything you want to keep with an external tool, then freshly check out your projects into a new workspace and copy over any missing pieces from your old workspace.
Try to select prespective as java instead of j2ee and then restart as eclipse .
This works for me.
Delete the file:
<ECLIPSE_WS>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\<PROJECT_NAME>\.indexes\properties.index
And the Share Project option appears!
I had the exactly same situation with Yaniv above.

Subversive got confused (e.g. but not showing the "Share Project"

My solution is like below:
Exported the current project in the new workspace into .war file.
Double-checked the current project is in the svn repository.
Removed the project in the new workspace completely once I was sure that I have the exported .war file and svn repository so that I will be able to import the project again.
Imported the project from svn, and checked out the project from the svn.
(Or, you can import the project from the .war file and you will be able to Share Project)
-> It worked well with the Subversive which is installed in the new workspace.
Please double check if you were using: Subversive or Subclipse?
It is likely that you have opened an old project with a newer Eclipse installation, where the software to be used may not be the one used previously, for example:
Subclipse instead of Subversive
Subversive instead of Subclipse
In my case after a fresh install of "Eclipse IDE for PHP Developers"
Version: 2018-09 (4.9.0)
Build id: 20180917-1800
while I needed to make some modifications to an ancient SVN tracked project.
I had Subclipse instead of Subversive (so simple yet you may be up for a spin).
Credit to the answer from Yaniv, he had installed the software the other way around - same issue.

I have installed Subclipse in Eclipse EE Luna.
This is what my installation details look like :
Going on past experience, I would now expect a silo icon to appear next to all of my files as they are locally all part of a SVN directory structure.
Also when I right click a file or folder I expect lots of SVN options. All I see is this :
Which leads me to believe that is not switched on? not working maybe?
Does anyone know what I need to do to get it working? Other SVN tools immediately synch up with my projects.
(The neverending Eclipse configuration nightmare continues....)
You get that context menu for 'Team' if the current project is not being shared.
So right click on the Project and use 'Team > Share Project...' to set up the project in SVN.
Subclipse cannot automatically connect to projects that existed in the workspace before you installed Subclipse. For those projects, you have to use Team > Share Project. Subclipse will recognize that it is a SVN working copy and just "connect it".
That said, your option is grayed out. That means these projects are already "connected" to a Team provider as far as Eclipse is concerned. However, since there are no Team options on the menu, that means the team provider is likely not installed.
So my conclusion is that you had these projects linked to the Subversive plugin, not Subclipse. You will have to install that plugin so you can use Team > Disconnect ... or you need to delete these projects and then re-import them to the workspace.
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 have a workspace with several projects connected to svn repositories via subclipse plugin. During a system restart, it seems eclipse was forcedly closed, and now I have restarted it, it seems the references to svn are lost. They are not disconnected, as there're interrogation signs as if every file was recently added, and .svn folders are still there. Also, the brackets that usually show the path in the repository are empty.
I could checkout the projects again and manually copy my last changes, but that's really annoying as there are about 10 projects.
Anyone experienced a similar issue and found a quick solution?
You subversion Eclipse plugin does not support svn 1.7. That happened to me too, when i upgraded the Tortoise shell integration and tried to commit the same project from Eclipse. The latest Subversive client plugin can be downloaded here: Subversive / Subclipse
It happened again today, and I fixed it by doing a Team->Refresh/Cleanup on the project. Can't believe I didn't try this before!
It happened to me today and "Team -> Share project" was enough.
Found it here: Restore Eclipse subversion project connection
I have svn repository with source code which I want to link (right click Team-Share) to svn in eclipse in order to be able to commit, update etc.
There is a weird problem, when project in eclipse is marked as maven project then svn is linked correctly, it extracts repository url, user name, password etc. But if project is not maven (java project for example) then eclipse for some reason can't find repository url and treats project as new being committed to svn.
How can I link non maven project to svn version control?

UPD root of the problem is found. This is due to using linked source directories. When eclipse project is placed outside svn working tree, eclipse can not extract svn parameters (repository url etc...), but when eclipse project is placed in svn working tree team feature works flawlessly.
Such weird behaviour is due to using linked source directories. When eclipse project is placed outside svn working tree, eclipse can not extract svn parameters (repository url etc...), but when eclipse project is placed in svn working tree team feature works flawlessly.
This should work but sometimes, Eclipse "forgets" the sharing information.
The solution is to share it again. Eclipse will read the existing repo info and use that (instead of creating a new repo).
If in doubt, make a backup of the project folder, first; SVN doesn't store any project-specific information outside of the project folders, so restoring from the backup will get you exactly what you had before.
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)

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).
