I had integrated a Subclipse plugin into the Eclipse to perform SVN related operations.
I had successfully checked-in, checked-out and commited my project to the SVN.
But now when I am trying to commit or update my project, it is showing the following error
org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Unsupported working copy format
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy 'D:\EclipseWorkspace\EMSEclipse'; please get a newer Subversion client
I had tried to update the plugin through HELP >> SOFTWARE UPDATES... of the Eclipse but it is saying that the software is up to date and no newer version is available.
Should I switch to some other SVN Client. If yes, then could you please suggest me any other SVN Client for Eclipse?
Subclipse has different update sites for the 1.4 and 1.6 branches. So if you are using 1.4, it won't have updates. Get the 1.6 update site.
Whenever the subclipse plugin is not sufficient for you, you can download Turtoise SVN - it is a full-featured SVN client.
Subversive is the other Eclipse client for SVN
But for your error, the solution is indeed to upgrade. Did you check the Download and installation process?
As documented, get the right version of JavaHL.
Haven't personally seen that error before. The other popular SVN client for Eclipse is Subversive in-case you want to try that.

I have ‘TortoiseSVN 1.10.0, Build 28176 - 64 Bit , 2018/04/14 08:00:32’ and it works in non Eclipse situations. I have read and followed most of the reverent post on Stackoverflow and others. Still no joy. I have added the SVN plugins, except for ‘JavaHl’ which failed after an hour of trying. My Eclipse is:
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a)
Build id: 20180405-1200
The current situation is:
When I try to add the Repository Location, I get:
I have also tried ‘file:///P:/SMC/TortoiseSVN/Projects/’ fails with the same message.
This is what TortoiseSVN gives me in a checkout dialog. When I look at the ‘Repository Browser’ I see:
I tried several other variations and none of them worked.
When I look under window→preferences→team→ SVN, I see:
I also do see an entry in the pull down for ‘Native JavaHL 1.8.11” but it gives the almost same error.
Thanks in advance Cliff2310
You have a filesystem (FS) repository (URL starts with file://), so no SVN server is involved and Eclipse or the connector of Subversive accesses the files directly.
The filesystem format 8 is understood by Subversion 1.10, not by 1.9. Unfortunately, there are no SVN 1.10 connectors for the SVN Eclipse plug-in Subversive yet. Also Subclipse which is an alternative to the Subversive Eclipse plug-in does not yet but will support SVN 1.10 in the next upcoming release.
As a hack you can change the version in the file db/format from 8 to 7. But beware, this could also destroy the repository.
The better solution is to downgrade the repository. A non filesystem repository would perform better. On Windows you can use e. g. VisualSVN Server for that and the latest version (3.9.0) should be able to import your FS 8 repository since it supports SVN 1.10.
I just downloaded a fresh Eclipse JEE Neon.1a Release (4.6.1) on my Windows 10 machine.
I went to the marketplace to get the latest Subversive SVN Team Provider 4.0.2.
Trying to install results in the Message: The following solutions are not available: SVN Team Provider 4.0.2.
I chose to continue anyways, and it seemed to work.
After the restart, i chose the SVNKit 1.8.14 Subversive SVN Connector and installed without any issues.
Now I was able to do basic SVN operations, all seemed fine.
Except to share a new project. I created a new Project called "test" and tried to share as a new project.
That results in the Message:
Share project was failed.
Can't overwrite cause with org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E160013: URL 'http://sol:3380/svn/repo/test' non-existent in that revision.
I tried to share a new project to another SVN Server, same error message.
I repeated the whole process on different machines, same message.
I Installed SVN Team Provider directly from the Update Site instead of the Marketplace. Same Issue.
I went to the SVNKit website to try older Versions of SVNKit and installed via the archived Update Sites, but they wont even show up in the SVN Connector Chooser in Eclipse.
I really dont know what to do anymore, can anyone help me to get it work?
I hope this solution will help you as it helped me. I think your problem is related to an unmatched client/server version. Neon subversive version is 4 and related svn connector is 1.8. But you probably need an svn connector 1.7 as it was in my case. Try the next steps and let me know if it works. Otherwise let me know the point in which you get in trouble.
go to help > installation details > filter by "svn" > uninstall everything related to subversive, subclipse and svn connectors
restart eclipse
to to help > install new software > work with > use the previous major subversive version from this URL: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/3.0/update-site/
install at least the plug-in and the integrations
restart eclipse
it will probably not ask you for a connector to be installed because you have already installed one previously, so go to window > preferences > team > svn > svn connector tab > get connectors > 1.7! (you can install all of them, the important thing is the one you choose in the combo box, it must be 1.7)
try the svn check-out process again
bye!
Bug was fixed yesterday. So just update.
I uninstalled the SVNKit 1.8.14, and it worked for me.
I use eclipse Version: Helios Service Release 2and Build id: 20110218-0911. And my subversive svn connector is SVNKit 1.2.3. r5745(for SVN 1.5.6, all platforms). And I'm new to subversion control system.
Every time I try to import project from svn, it start checkout slowly and failed after 90% with this message.
I have tried many times but still I got the above message and checkout failed at after 90%.
But when I try to checkout that same url from tortoise svn, its ok and may be file size is around 229MB and takes around 30 minutes.
I don't know why my importing project from eclipse using subversive is very slow and failed again and again.
Here is the list of installed software in my eclipse.
And the svn connector image.
I don't want to use tortoise svn in this project because all of my co-worker used eclipse subversive. So, I'm worries of conflict and some error if I used tortoise svn instead of eclipse subversive.
I'm very appreciate for any solution and advice.
You use very old SVNKit version. That's why there are no problems in more up-to-date TortoiseSVN, but there are in Eclipse IDE.
Upgrade Subversive and its connectors to solve the problem: https://eclipse.org/subversive/installation-instructions.php
Here is it full error that I get in Eclipse Juno when I try to commit my project through SVN
appears to be part of a Subversion 1.7 or greater working copy. Please upgrade your Subversion client to use this working copy.
I don't understand why I get this since my SVN client version is the latest one. (2.0.3)!
From Subversion 1.1 to Subversion 1.6, the layout of the Subversion client working directory did not change. In revision 1.7, it changed, and in 1.8, it changed again. This has caused a lot of consternation in people who share a working directory with more than one Subversion client.
Both Subversive and Subclipse, the two main Subversion clients for Eclipse actually pass off the work of creating the Subversion working directory to either SVNKit or to JavaHL -- what are called the _SVN Connectors. It's these two SVN Connectors that must match the version of your working directory. Don't check Subversive or Subclipse's version. Check out the SVN Connector version.
If you go to your preferences, into Team->SVN, you will see a tab for the SVN Connector. Check the version of your SVN Connector (whether JavaHL or SVNKit), and make sure you're using the right version. In your case, it should be 1.7.
The most common reason to see this error is because you're using two different Subversion clients on the same working directory (which is officially not supported, but everyone does it anyway).
For example, are you using TortoiseSVN or the Subversion command line client, and also the Eclipse client on the same working directory, you naughty spawn?
Confession time: I do it all the time. I find there are times when it's just damn easier to use the command line client to do certain jobs rather than struggle with the Eclipse client. For example, I can do svn log and do a grep filter to quickly find the revision I want rather than going through Eclipse. If you do this type of stuff, make sure your Subversion clients are all on the same general version (1.6 vs. 1.7 vs. 1.8).
Okay, you're a good boy and don't use different Subversion clients on the same working copy. Now what happened? In that case, I suspect you accidentally changed the SVN Connector version without realizing it -- either through an update, or in the settings. You can have multiple SVN Connector versions at the same time, and I believe each project can have different ones too.
Again, check your SVN Connector version, and make sure it's correct.
I also got this error trying to run this command:
svn co http://subversion.<path to trunk>/<project name>/
from a command prompt. I wasn't in the workspace project directory, just the workspace directory. We had the correct version of 1.8, but because I was in the wrong directory, not the project directory, I got this same error as listed above.
For me the problem was that I copied & pasted a package from an Eclipse workspace with an older SVN client.
I didn't know that in the background, along with the package, a .svn directory was copied as well. So when I tried to commit it I got this error. Deleting the .svn directory solved the problem.
Use search before asking.
There is no Apache Subversion 2.x. Subversion 1.8 is the latest release so far. You use Subversive 2.x which should work with Subversion 1.7 and 1.8 working copies without any issues.
Make sure that you actually run the latest Subversive version,
Attempt upgrading your local working copy using svn upgrade command,
Try checking out a fresh working copy from a repository and see whether you get any errors.
For a long time my subversion client was working just fine, and I used it for a while out of sts, but one day sts crashed and I rolled back to eclipse for a while and during that time I used subclipse to update a project of mine. Now STS is up and running again, but for some reason now if I ever try to update or commit from sts I get the following error:
The path '{pathname}' appears to be part of a Subversion 1.7 or greater
working copy. Please upgrade your Subversion client to use this
working copy.
There is not actually an available update for subclipse and sts still recognizes the most recently installed subclipse from the dashboard. Any ideas on how to fix this one?
You should be able to install Subclipse 1.8.x in STS. The update site URL is:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x
That release includes Subversion 1.7 client so you should be all set once you do this.
Subclipse the JavaHL library to do SVN connections. On Windows, if you have the most recent Subclipse it looks like you should automatically have that installed, but if not they have a variety of installation instructions (alas system dependent).
