pickaxe,
Can you please check if you are able to do the following steps:-
1. Create the project (it will erase all the svn elements)
2. Close the project in MyEclipse
3. Replace the SVN elements on-disk -- eg. re-checkout the projects from the repository using some external SVN client.
4. Navigate directly into the project directory and edit the .project file using a text editor and remove the org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.javascriptValidator builder, and the org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.jsNature nature -- then save and close the .project file.
5. Now re-open the project in MyEclipse and refresh it -- are the SVN elements left in-tact?

Success!

MyEclipse was deleting only the entries file from the top level .svn folder in my project folder. With this in mind, I ignored the first three steps above and went straight to step 4. MyEclipse no longer deletes the entries file. By the way, I use the subversion command line client in Cygwin.

Thanks Nipun

Your welcome.

I have the same problem w/ top-level .svn/entries file getting deleted by 7.5. Is disabling features the long term fix for this? Seems like more of a workaround than a real fix.

Also, I have another problem with external svn client and myeclipse. In my web project repo, there is an empty WEB-INF/classes directory. The WEB-INF directory has the svn-ignore property set to:

classes/*

This means the classes directory itself is under version control, but nothing underneath it is under version control.

Now my web project has this exclusion pattern on the Java Build Path, Source tab:

**/.svn/

This prevents .svn folders from getting copied from src directory to output directory WEB-INF/classes (which then causes the src java files to be restored to classes directory - where they don't belong - on svn update!)

Yet whenever I do a clean build, MyEclipse deletes WEB-INF/classes/.svn, which is a problem because it breaks the version control on classes directory.

Shouldn't the exclude pattern apply to my output directory too? Or is there any way to configure exactly what is "cleaned" on a clean build?

I'm encountering this same problem in the latest version of regular Eclipse. Has this fix been pushed upstream into the WTP project at all? Can you share any details about what was causing this?

lewisd,

Can you please answer some questions for me to investigate it further?

1) What was your previous version of ME?
2) Did you update using Pulse/All-In-One installer/Archived update?
3) Could you go to Help > About and mention exactly what version of MyEclipse you are using? Please copy the build Id from there into this thread.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear about what I was asking.

I'm using regular Eclipse 3.6, not ME. I understand this bug has been fixed in ME. What I'd like to know is if this patch has been contributed back to the community, to be fixed in the publicly available javascript plugins for Eclipse.

This issue is fixed in MyEclipse 8.0 and later. However, we found that this issue is logged as Bug #339927 at Eclipse.org and have attached our patch to the bug report so the JSDT team can fix it in some future release of Eclipse as well.

Thanks very much.
