I have multiple workspaces, which basically have been copied forward from a previous workspace. (File > Switch Workspace > Other…, then supply new workspace name and click Copy Settings)

In one workspace I can export SVN repositories by clicking File > Export > General > Preferences and then selecting SVN repositories. However, in the other workspace it doesn’t give me that option.

Why does exporting SVN repositories show in one workspace and not the other? Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be flipped on?

UHC-42,

There is’nt any setting which should be turned to see the SVN repository option under File > Export > General > Preferences, not that I am aware of.

Can you answer some more questions for me to understand the issue better?

1) Can you share your installation details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details ? Paste them here for me.

2) Do both workspaces belong to the same ME version ?

3) Can you switch to the SVN Repository view in the second workspace and connect to it without any issue?

4) Do you see any errors of interest logged in the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log ? Paste them here for me.

2) Both workspaces are running ME 7.5-20090609
3) I have no problem connecting to SVN repositories. Just can’t export. Here is the line I see exported in the one workspace: /instance/org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core/repositories/<followed by my repository’s name and location>
4) Not seeing anything in logs specific to svn.

UHC-42,

Thanks for the details. This behavior is inherited from Eclipse.Switching workspaces seems to reset something.

Can you try this workaround ?

Adding a repository location in the SVN repository explorer seems to kick it into life again.You might have to delete a repository from the repository explorer and add it again, if you donot have another repository location to add. You should now be able to see the option.

Let me know how this works for you.

[UHC-42]

I was able to add a dummy SVN repository [even though threw an exception validating location, I answered “Keep location anyway?”, Yes.] , and now I see the export “SVN Repository” option in the Export Preferences pop-up.

Thanks for the workaround.

UHC-42,

Glad that you are all set.
Do let us know if you have any other issues.
