I upgraded to ME 8 the other day. I pointed ME to my ME 7 workspace and all my projects seem to have lost their subversion settings. The 'Team' functions do not show any of the SVN commands.

I upgraded as a result of ME 7 indefinitely hanging on trying to open any of my SVN projects.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

colgateWebBoy,

Sorry to hear you are running into this issue. Can you open your MyEclipse IDE with -clean command line argument, refer this link - http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-10280.html
If this doesn't help can you do the following -
1. Copy and paste your MyEclipse Installation details here? Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.
2. Can you refresh your subversion settings?
3. Do you see any errors reported in your problems tab? Can you copy and paste them here?
4. Open your error log file located here <your workspace dir>/.metadata/.log and look for any related issues logged in the .log file. If you find any can you copy and paste the same here?
5. Open Window > Preferences and click on [Restore Defaults]
Let me know if this helps.

Hi Joy,

Thx for the help!

I think I refreshed the subversion settings.

No errors in the problems tab.

Below is an example of the errors that exist in the .log file

Not helping at this moment.

colgateWebBoy,

You mention that you have upgraded to ME 8.0. Did you upgrade from a prior version? How did you upgrade and what was your prior version. You cannot directly upgrade from ME 7.5 or earlier to ME 8.0 as the base eclipse has changed. The recommended approach is to install a fresh copy of ME 8.0. You can point to the same workspace and even import your preferences from prior version to 8.0.
If you have a fresh copy of ME 8.0, can you delete your subversion settings and create them afresh? Looks like the subversion settings are broken. Refresh doesn't seem to fix it.
If the above also doesn't work. Can you do the following -
1. Open pulse. If you don't have pulse, please download the same from www.poweredbypulse.com
2. Login to pulse. If you don't have a pulse login, you can login anonymously.
3. This will redirect you to the pulse explorer. Choose "Eclipse Galieo" from the top left hand corner dropdown
4. Expand "My Profiles". This will list you all your installed ME versions.
5. Click on "MyEclipse 8.0" and from the context menu click on [Re-install and run]
Pulse will automatically fix any dependency issues.
Let me know how this works for you.

I have a fresh copy of ME 8.0 and then point to the same workspace which I used ME 7.5 before.

All other perspective including CVS seems fine except subversion. The SVN perspective becomes <SVN Repository Exploring>.

How do I clean it and get the fresh SVN Repository Exploring perspective without <>?

Thanks.

I also did the Pause with Re-install and run but got the same results. There is no pane to add subversion repository with I chose '<SVN Repository Exploring>' perspective.

lhsin,

Sorry to hear you are running into this issue. Can you open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on Window > Open Perspective > Other > SVN Repository Exploring. Delete current SVN Repository and create afresh. Let me know how this works for you.

Thanks Joy,
When I use a new workspace directory, there is no SVN Repository Exploring when I open MyEclipse IDE, from Window > Open Perspective > Other > with 'show all' checked.

When I used my existing workspace, as I said earlier, there is a <SVN Repository Exploring> but not SVN Repository Exploring perspective

Alan

Do I need to install from subclipse for use SVN or ME 8.0 includes it? I don't think I need to install subclipse when I use ME 7.5.

MyEclipse doesn't include any integrated support for either SVN/ Subclipse. You can install these plugins using Help > Software Updates > Add/ Remove Software.

Can you include a screenshot, which will help me get a visual. The best thing right now would be to create a new workspace and move the projects to the new workspace.

OK, I thought the SVN perspective was included since I didn't have any installation when I used ME 7.5.

Thanks for your help.

SVN perspective is not part of MyEclipse IDE. If you include SVN as a plugin, you can open SVN repository exploring.

I had the same problem when opening a 7.5 workspace with MyEclipse 8.0. In .metadata/.log I got the error org.eclipse.team.core.TeamException: Could not instantiate provider org.eclipse.team.svn.core.svnnature for project XXX.

I fixed the problem by deleting the projects in the workspace, but not from disk, and then reimporting them into the workspace. The Team/Subversion mennu was then available.

azzoti,

Thank you for sharing your findings with us.

Best.

Try the following:
1: Rename the existing project to an arbitrary name of your choice…
2: Create an empty project of the same type with the name of your original project…
3: From the windows file manager; move the contents of the renamed project to the newly created empty project…
4: Return to MyEclipse and refresh both projects…
5: Delete the original renamed project…
The SVN menu options should be restored…
