the Subversive SVN Connectors does not appear after rebooting eclipse Juno IDE after installing svn from the eclipse marketplace.

any ideas?

Because of this issue i cannot assign a svn connector to the svn eclipse plugin so therefore it cannot do any svn features at all.

i am running windows 8 and tried to run eclipse in Admin mode but still no joy. anywhere i can download the connectors manually and if so, where do i install it?

Might help someone...

From polarion use this update site. I installed just

  1. subversive SVN Connectors
  2. SVNKit 1.7.5.v1 Implementation
  3. SVN Team provider connectors source

After this I found in eclipse preferences Team->SVN has the svn kit 1.7.5 selected and everything started to working.

Just remove .metadata folder in your workspace directory and restart

then windows -> preference -> team -> svn click. It will appear

    This Helped me using Indigo. I installed subclipse, but initially cancelled out of the Subversive Connector Discovery dialog. Then could not figure out how to get it back or install connectors – jeff Oct 25 '13 at 16:34
  • Worked, but removed all project from work space but just re import the projects. – hram908 Feb 02 '14 at 18:40

    This deletes the workspace! All settings will be gone. If it is a new workspace no problem, but other otherwise you will loose all settings and will have to re-import all projects. – Jack Miller Oct 22 '14 at 06:43

    You should warn about the side effects of your solution (maybe put a link to questions about metadata or something) – ojy Jan 21 '15 at 00:30
  • Worked in Luna. I really would have liked another intuitive way to open the connectors window. – HelpMatters Feb 24 '15 at 10:40
  • Please explicitly mention the eclipse version for which this worked. Doesn't work for my eclipse 4.5 & deletes the workspace. – vanguard69 May 25 '16 at 05:29
  • Worked for me in NeonJEE. Thanks – spideringweb May 23 '17 at 16:42

For me, switching to a fresh workspace fixed the issue. I followed this link. The automatic connector discovery tool popped up once I switched to a new workspace.

I cannot add new comments. Just facing same problem. Updating @Saran answer:

Eclipse Mars site is

http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/5.0/mars-site/

Eclipse Luna site is

http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/4.0/luna-site/

Eclipse Kepler site is

http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/3.0/kepler-site/

You can install svn conectors manually from there.

(Remember: Help menu -> Install new software -> paste site url)

Can I suggest the CollabNet Eclipse desktop instead of the Marketplace SVN?

http://desktop-eclipse.open.collab.net/

I've found its installation to be much less painful than any other way of getting SVN into Eclipse.

Switching workspaces worked.

Also for newer Subversive version`s, the connectors show on the: windows > preferences > team > svn (in a tab inside this window), instead of the old svn > connectors menu.

  1. Close your Eclipse.
  2. In your workspace directory, open (.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.team.svn.ui.prefs).
  3. Change the option firstStartup=false to firstStartup=true.
  4. Re-open Eclipse again.
