I want to add the SVN ignore property to my project to ignore target folder and .classpath.

So I went through team → set property, but I didn't know how the configuration for the name and values would be. How can I do it?

You can set svn:ignore using Team → Add to svn:ignore on the right click of file. However, if the file is already committed to SVN this option will not be enabled.

You would need to remove it from SVN, clean up the local repository and then add svn:ignore.
