Previously ran SVN in Indigo without issues. I decided to update to Kepler and have been trying to get SVN setup. Based on all of the documentation I can find I have it setup (no errors) the problem is that it is not recognizing the SVN properties of my projects and I don't see any way to get it to link.(Clicking "Team" only shows the menu item "Apply Patch"). The Preferences for SVN is totally different from Indigo so I can't match that either.. Clearly I'm missing something..

Mac OSX 10.8.4
Kepler 4.3
SVN 1.8.1 (svn --version in terminal, native to OSX)
JavaHL 1.10.x (MacPorts)
Using PDT perspective

Thank you for any suggestions or direction...

Ok... I kept pounding on this and finally got it working.. What a nightmare. There are so many instructions out there that it is hard to know which are the correct instructions and which are... ????

Anyway for anyone else out there I finally got to the link at polarion.com. (this forum won't let me post the link, sorry..) which I now remember from my Indigo install..(many years ago) Followed those instructions and now it seems to be working (needs testing).. The frustration is that I really don't know what of all the things I installed were required and what was a false lead.. For example: did I really need to install javaHL..??

Hello John,

There is a page regarding installation process: http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/installation-instructions.php

If it isn't helpful enough, you're welcome to suggest what should be changed in order to make the instruction more user-friendly.

Apologise for hijacking this thread but I'm having a similar problem and albeit I have some additional information, I can't find out a way to solve this.

My machine is also a Mac, a freshly installed Mountain Lion fully updated, and the latest Eclipse Kepler as of today, the 23th Sep.

I've grabbed Kepler standard, Mac 64 bit, and then manually installed subversion and maven via the Kepler install site. I'm almost sure everything was working last week and my projects were showing the SVN information and the SVN menu was showing all items as Juno, everything from commit, update, the compare with latest version, etc.

Today I've started Eclipse and got presented the "Subversive Connector Discovery" dialog, and a not so nice "Connector discovery completed without finding any connectors. Please check your Internet connection and try again".

On my worspace's log file I see this:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.team.svn.core.svnnature 4 0 2013-09-23 14:34:19.725

My disk has free space, my temp folder has the right permissions, I can see the two temporary folders created (RemoteBundleDiscoveryStrategy8556944144819024996.tmp/.rcache/), my internet connection is working perfectly (or at least I can download that URL without any problems), and fs_usage doesn't show anything I can identify - I see the unlink, mkdir of the RemoveBundle folder, the mkdir of the .rcache, and right after the write into the .log file with the message above.

I've tried to fully remove my eclipse application folder and the whole .metadata workspace and start from scratch, same error.

I've tried installing the subversive package directly from polarion. Didn't work because it tells me the package are already installed.

I have no ideas now besides rolling back to a previous Eclipse version.

Same problem with Kepler for Java EE under Windows 8.1.

Checked the permissions for following folders:

C:\Development\eclipse
C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Development\workspace

and also started Eclipse with admin rights, but the problem still exists.

I had the same problem.
If you have JDK 7u40 then he is the one causing the problem. Bug Report.

Solution for me was to revert back to JDK 7u25 and maven->discovery Open Catalog is working again.

With Win64/Windows 8 and Java 7u40, and using http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/installation-instructions.php (thanks Alexander), it worked for me.

Thank you for reporting the issue, hovewer it would be better to report those things on the Eclipse Bugzilla, since it will be easier to track. So, I created the task for this exact problem with connectors discovery failure:

Thanks for doing this, in fact the issue doesn't seem to be related to the hardware as I'm using Window 8 64 bits.
