Simple Way : Migrating From Subeclipse to Subversive in Eclipse Environment

Migrating From Subeclipse to Subversive in Eclipse Environment:

Recently I ran into different issues with the Subclipse (Eclipse plugin for version control). So I decided to give a try with Subversive plugin. Here are the steps for migrating your project settings from Subclipse to Subverive without importing the entire project.

  • Right click on project name–> Team –> Disconnect . This will ask if you want to disconnect project from SVN. Choose the option where it says, it will preserve the all metadata information.
  • Follow this step for all projects.
  • Install Subversive using following instructions through Eclipse’s Find & Install feature – Installing Subversive
  • After restarting eclipse, Right Click on the project name. It will have option for “Share Project”. .
  • When you will click on that it will automatically pick your repository & you just need to enter your username & password required for the SVN access. And you are done !!

Note: If it doesn’t pick your SVN repo; Give it manually with project’s trunk (considering you follow the regular SVN module conventions)
