Eclipse keeps asking for svn password

This one worked well : http://www.thinkplexx.com/learn/howto/ide/eclipse/fix-eclipse-svn-always-asking-for-login-and-password-clear-keyring-or-cache

There is some files to delete :

  • Delete (or rename .old) in Eclipse : /configuration/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.keyring
  • Remove the file in your profile (AppData/Roaming or ~) : /.subversion/auth/svn.simple

Go to SVN perspective and enter login/password. Should keep it now.


Here's what worked for me. I went to Window/Preferences/Team and saw that there were two "SVN" sub-menus. I'm not sure how I got to this state, but I may have installed both Subversion and Subclipse at some point.

Anyway, in the first SVN submenu, there is a tab for SVN Connector. And in the other SVN menu, there is a subsection labelled "SVN interface". Both of these provide a drop-down list to select a connector/interface. In my case, in the first SVN menu, the SVN Connector was set to "SVNKit". In the second SVN menu, it was set to "JavaHL". I changed this to SVNKit, and have had no problems since.


What worked for me was going to Window->Preferences->Team then under 'SVN Interface' select the 'SVNKit (Pure Java)' option.
