Eclipse Galileo unable to read Subversion repository
After a clean Snow Leopard install on a new machine, I fired up a fresh Galileo Eclipse and pointed it at a copy of my old workspace. I first encountered and resolved the missing Mac OS X JRE issue described in my last post, only to then find that my existing subversion repositories were inaccessible in the new Eclipse install. I hopefully added "-clean" as the first parameter of my eclipse.ini file and restarted but the situation remained unchanged. Undeterred, I launched eclipse from the command line with a -clean startup parameter and this did the trick:
/Applications/<your install dir/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse -clean

Rolling back from Subversive 0.7.8 in Eclipse Ganymede
I've had automatic updates enabled on my Ganymede install of Eclipse. Huge mistake. Today a Subversive upgrade moved me into an unworkable state and I lost some development time recovering. My experience seems similar to the problem discussed here. Even a fresh install of Eclipse failed to correct the situation. Maddening!
In any event, here's how I was able to finally recover:
- Open Time Machine
- Restore ~/.eclipse
- Pat self on back for using a Mac
What? You don't use a Mac? Why? Well, you might be able to use Eclipse's Software Updates -> Installed Software -> Revert Configuration button to rollback the upgrade. Good luck with that...
