Hi,

I know that there are several open threads about this- but I don't see any answers from the support team, so here is my problem again:

I have java source files and resources and a pom.xml in Subversion. I want to checkout these files to a new maven project, but that does not seem to be possible in MyEclipse 8.6- creating a new Java Maven project by checking out the flies does not work, and if I create a new, empty Java Maven project, there is no way to checkout files into it. I could copy them in, but then I'm loosing the version control.

Is there any way to do this?
The files in subversion are coming from old projects created with MyEclipse half a year ago- but I checked in the sources and resources folders and pom.xml only, what would be sufficient to build the project.
I have a new PC now and want to recreate these projects (and have no access to the old MyEclipse project configurations now)

jwesely,

Can you please answer below queries -
1. Copy and paste your installation details? Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details
2. What are the resource files you have, can you verify, if you have .project, .classpath and .mymetadata files being checked out from subversion project?
3. Is this project in subversion created using MyEclipse? If yes, you should be able to simply checkout the project, by right clicking on the top most node. You need not create java maven project or any maven project. It should be able to create the relevant project for you. In case this is not happening, what is the issue you are seeing? Can you clear your .log file located at [your workspace dir]/.metadata/.log , replicate the issue and attach relevant log here.
4. Please note that if the subversion project is not a MyEclipse maven project but a maven project created outside of MyEclipse, you need to create relevant maven project in MyEclipse, copy your project files to the newly created maven project and check-in the same to subversion.
5. If this is still an issue, can you attach a screenshot. This would help me get a visual. You can either [pm]/[post reply] the attachments
