After I installed new Eclipse Indigo, it asks me for password every action I do in SVN Repository perspective (e.g. browse through every single folder ask password again).

Normally use SVNKit, it ask for password once per session. SVNKit doesn't support SVN 1.7.0 yet.

How can I fix this or is it normal behavior of JavaHL?

Note: I don't want to save the password, but I want to enter the password once per session & repository. If I restart eclipse, I want to enter password again.

Settings:

  • Eclipse Indigo SR1
  • Subclipse 1.8.2
  • SVN 1.7.0 (workspace)
  • SVN Client: JavaHL 1.7.1

Update: SVNKit 1.7.4 is now available.

For some reason, I had both SVNKit and JavaHL installed. I needed to update my Eclipse preferences to use SVNKit instead of JavaHL.

In Preferences > Team > SVN > SVN Interface
switch:
JavaHL (JNI) ...
to:
SVNKit (Pure Java) SVNKit ....
