Reconnect Eclipse Project to SVN with Subclipse

I've been using Subclipse to manage SVN projects in Eclipse 3.4.2. However, while installing a buggy plugin, Eclipse became so sluggishly unusable that I had to kill the process and restart. Unfortunately, even though I removed the buggy plugin, this appears to have destroyed Subclipse's links to all my SVN projects. The projects themselves are still there, but the "Team" context menu only shows "Apply Patch", and no SVN icon overlays are being displayed. Is there anyway to fix this, or do I have to delete and recreate all my projects?

If your project has the .svn directories (only the Eclipse integration 'has gone missing') you could try Team -> Share Project. In my workspace, Subclipse noticed the presence of the SVN folders and created the appropriate connection.

Edit: if you do not have the Share Project menu maybe the Eclipse installation 'got screwed'. If you do not have the Share Project menu in a newly created project and you do not see the SVN preferences under Preferences --> Team then you should re-install the Subclipse plugin.

If you do not have the Share Project menu only the projects you previously shared with SVN, than you should delete and recreate all your projects (in the delete do not delete the project contents and after the delete select File -> Import -> Existing projects into Workspace).
