    I recently migrated all my colleagues to ME2014. Installation was via copy/paste of my ME2014 folder (including my pre-installed plugins like subclipse). Worked, which is awesome and a great time-saver.

    We are using subclipse for svn access. After installing the subclipse plugin I got some nasty popup claiming that not all libraries were installed. After a little bit of googling I found out that JavaHL was the culprit, so I changed my SVN setting to SVNKit. Error popup was gone. After that was solved I distributed my installation.

    What I didn’t know: SVNKit stores the svn credentials in the myeclipse installation folder. This is a major flaw! That kind of personal data must be stored in the user account.

    The result was of course that everyone committed with my user credentials …

    In case anyone runs into that issue, you need to delete the keyring file.

    It would be great if this could be fixed in ME2015. Thank you very much.

    oops!
    Unfortunately this is something you’d have to take up with the Subclipse or SVNKit guys (am not aware of the internals enough to know exactly who is responsible) – but the code responsible for this (i.e. saving details in the installation/configuration space instead of a user specific location) would be in their plugins, not ours, so there is no way we can fix this by making changes in MyEclipse.

    Hope this helps.
