Just today I had some major problems again with Subversion. I wasn't sure if it was our Subversion installation (on CentOS 5.2 with SVN 1.4.2) or Eclipse. Anyway, what I have found is that the Subversive team recommends to use the latest 0.7.3 versions instead of the ones from the Ganymede download site. I then installed those (after fiddling around with the Connectors for an hour) and finally got it setup. One really wonders, why they make it so hard to install something so important to developers. Hi Jeff

One really wonders, why they make it so hard to install something so important to developers.

I've been meaning to thank you the day you posted this. You finally helped me get out of a bad install/config. I was still on Eclipse 3.3, but last fall I had installed subclipse for a few weeks, then decided to try subversive (to test both). Unfortunately you get mixed/bad results (that aren't aparent right away). Since then every time I started a new project it would sometimes choose to use subclipse or subversive (whichever it felt like that day). I've had nothing but problems all these months and anytime I tried to uninstall subclipse or subversive, bad things would happen to my projects. I've wasted hours, days, and weeks trying to find any reasonable help on the interwebs. Then I read your post and the magic key was the "Team > Disconnect" (which I'd never heard of or tried before), then uninstall, etc. So I did that - I installed a new Eclipse 3.4 (why not), reinstalled all my plugins fresh (CFEclipse, subversive, etc) using your helpful hints here, and reconnected all 80+ projects. Sure it took me all night, but my development IDE is running great once more. Thanks! Thanks for this blog entry. I’ve been meaning to thank you the day you posted this.

I was going crazy myself until one day I sat down and had enough nerve to try it all out :-) Glad it helped.

Using the 'ganymede-site' Polarion update URL was the key in my case - using their published 'http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/' caused a number of unresolved dependancies.
