Proper way to install SVNKit 1.7.x in Eclipse?

Folks,

I am a bit confused on how to get SVNKit 1.7 Beta 3 to work under Eclipse Indigo.

Using the Eclipse update site mentioned at http://svnkit.com/download.php, I installed new software from http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.7.x. I selected both the items on the list, the core SVNKit Library and optional JNA Library.

The installation seems to have succeeded. When I look at the list of installed software, I see SVN Library 1.70 Beta 3 in the list.

However, Eclipse still does not recognized that my projects are source controlled.

When I go to Preferences, all I see is SVNKit 1.3.6-v1. I do not see SVNKit 1.7.

Is there some other step that I am missing? How do I get Subversive to recognized my Subversion 1.7 based projects?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Peter

To install SVNKit as an Eclipse plugin or to make sure that you have the latest version installed, use http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.7.x/ as an update site location in Eclipse Update Manager.

  • List item In Eclipse menu select Help->Software Updates
  • List item Then choose 'Available Software' tab
  • List item Click 'Add Site...' button
  • List item Type http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.7.x/ in the 'Location' field and press 'OK'.
  • List item Check the new site (it should appear in the list of update sites) and follow further steps as prompted by Eclipse.

Use http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.3.x/ as an update site location to get older version of SVNKit (1.3.8).
