Hi,
I'm not sure where else to ask this question, so I'm here in the noob forum.
I have a few projects in my workspace with names like
mystuff-ear
mystuff-ejb
mystuff-client
mystuff-web
mystuff-util
I just set up my seventh workspace because the other 6 times I told myself I'm just unlucky, but I see a pattern. I can without problems add the projects -ear, -ejb, -client to subversion, but when I try to add a project named -web, -web2, -util then I see an error message: "The folder indicated by the URL cannot already exist". So I delete the folder in the svn repository and try again. But to no avail.
several times, I told myself that I did something wrong. So I completely deleted all folders in my svn repository, I disconnected the projects from svn, then I would try to share projects again. 6 times, I suspected the workspace to be corrupt and made a new one. I created the new maven projects and tried to share them. I tried different orders. Even when I try to add the -web project first it doesn't work. I have 2 projects that have the exact same content (generated from mvn archetype). One is named mystuff-web , the other mystuff-rest . Guess which one can't be shared with svn?
I really enjoy naming my svn repository folders just like my projects. Can anyone help?
this is what I see in the console:
svn: '/svn/xxxx/!svn/bc/193/cranberry/mystuff-util' path not found: 404 Not Found (https: //www.xxxxx.de)
mkdir -m "Initial import." https: //www.xxxxx.de/svn/xxxx/cranberry/mystuff-util
Committed revision 194.
checkout -N -r HEAD https: //www.xxxxx.de/svn/xxxx/cranberry/mystuff-util
Checked out revision 194.
(I added spaces so it doesn't look like links)
The folder is created in the repository. The project looks like it's connected to the repository as I have a right-click menu for "team" and I have the option to commit. But when I choose "commit" then nothing happens.
to me this looks like just the commit window is just not spawning for me.

This is several questions inadequately described using unspecific
terminology.
First, you're better off not putting your project subdirectories into
the workspace subdirectory. Put them where you create them and set them
up for Subversion.
Second, you can't delete subdirectories out of the workspace filesystem
by hand, but only using Eclipse. If you do it from the command line,
Eclipse won't display the projects because they're no longer there in
the filesystem, but Eclipse itself retains their names and won't let you
create new ones by the same names. This is why you think you've been
unlucky with workspaces.
Last, assuming you're using subclipse or subversive plug-ins for Eclipse
(and it sounds like you are), there's a separate Eclipse forum for
getting help with them.
Very last, set your projects up like this. I'm not saying this is the
only way, just that it's going to be less confusing.
1. Use the command line to create subdirectories in your filesystem.
2. If you've already got source code, dump it down into the project.
2bis. I would commit everything to Subversion by hand just to make sure
that part of the equation is working.
3. Launch Eclipse and switch to the workspace you wish to use.
4. Create a new Java Project or Dynamic Web Project with the name you
want, i.e.: the name of the subdirectory your code is in.
5. After naming the project in the wizard, don't default the source code
into the workspace, but click the button and browse to the subdirectory
in your filesystem where you've put the code.
6. Finish running the new-project wizard.
7. Then begin using the Team submenus in Eclipse.
Steps 4, 5 and 6 will create files and folders in your project named
..project, .classpath and .settings. You DO want to let Subversion commit
these. If you're actually sharing your project, there are later caveats
about paths external to your projects in the .classpath file, but you
can ask about that another time or read this page which is about Git,
but the details apply to Subversion too.
http://www.javahotchocolate.com/tutorials/git-eclipse.html
If you already have actual Eclipse projects, you can import them using
File -> Import... -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace instead
of creating them new. The reason this will work is only because your
projects already have good .project, .classpath and .settings in the
filesystem.
I hope this help and isn't too much of a firehose to drink from.
Cheers.

sorry, I'm not an expert in eclipse.

I agree. It's what I used to do a few times. But after a while of having problems, you agree to do it the way the IDE suggests it to you. ...in an attempt to minimize my own errors.

sorry, I don't understand anything you just said there. Maybe I didn't explain it well enough. In the SVN Repository Perspective, I deleted the SVN repository subdirectory. In the Project Explorer, I disconnected the project from SVN. Then I tried again. I didn't do anything on the command line.
But your response makes me fear: If I once ever in any workspace created a project named xyz and connected it with subversion, then I won't ever be able to connect a project with the same name? Not even in another workspace?

I see a subversive forum, but no subclipse forum. Can you give me a link to it? And how do I know if I use subclipe or subversive?

by hand you mean in the console? The eclipse svn plug-in is not reliable?

thanks for your response. I guess I'll try to set it up with the project folders outside the workspace. Though I don't see a reason for it currently. And I have little hope this will resolve the issue I have with eclipse telling me that it can't connect to a svn subdirectory because it already exists even though it was eclipse that just created it in just that step.

No, the IDE is only defaulting to creating the project in the workspace
filesystem. You aren't otherwise encouraged to do that. I only take that
default for quick and dirty projects--never for real work that I'm
sharing via version control with colleagues.

No. Projects are known to the workspace, but not to other workspaces. I
haven't used Subversion for a long time and I never used SVN Repository
Perspective. So I have two suggestions. First, I won't be able to help
you with SVN Repository Perspective, but there is another Eclipse forum
(Subversive) that might be able to. Second, I prefer to do version
control from the command line (though I've used Subversion through the
Team menu) and it works perfectly just as if you weren't using Eclipse.

Best of luck. If you were able to reduce your experience to a series of
reproduceable steps, someone here might more quickly guess what's going
wrong.
Cheers.
