I am trying to get subversion to play nice with my new maven setup

Consider the following sscce scenario:

Project 1 - Already in SVN

/project1
  /src
  /target
  pom.xml

Project 2 - Also already in SVN

/project2
  /src
  /target
  pom.xml

I want to transform both of these projects to be modules of one, global maven project, i.e.

/myProjects
  /project1
    /src
    /target
    pom.xml
  /project2
    /src
    /target
    pom.xml
  pom.xml

The file systems are already set up in exactly this way on both the server and my development machine, but the outer /myProjects isn't an actual subversion folder (I created it using "Rightclick -> New -> New Remote Folder" in subclipse, then "Rightclick -> Rename/Move" on the other folders. But then I tried to do "myProjects -> Share Project" and it wanted to purge my SVN data/comments etc.

What should I do? Is this direct command solution the only way, or can I do it using subclipse?

  1. There are not such thing, as "Subversion project" (or at least it's disambiguation). Are /project1 and /project2 roots of separate Subversion repositories or are they different paths in common repository?

  2. In any case, some type of access to repositories server (and admin-side tools) is needed, subclipse is only client-side subversion client

    • Dump/Load way is usable common way for physical joining of two (or more) independent repositories
    • You can also select and implement logical joining of repositories: create new repository with /myProjects in the root, add /project1 and /project2 as directory-externals and get needed logical tree from three physical repositories
    • If /project1 and /project2 are parts of common repo, your can reorganize repository-tree, using only client-side commands: svn mkdir+svn mv will do the trick

  • Sorry for not being clear. They are in the same repo, different paths. I moved them (using Subclipse) probably exactly the same as `svn mkdir` and `svn mv` would do, but the problem is when I try to do "Team -> Share Project" in `myProject`it gives me a warning that it's going to delete all the subversion files because the subprojects in eclipse are linked independently. – durron597 Feb 09 '13 at 05:53
