Eclipse (Kepler) What is required to enable SVN Connector: Under "Team->SVN"?

eclipse, eclipse-plugin, svn

Solution

One important detail in resolving this issue was remembering that I wanted to keep my workspace. When I decided to start from scratch, I backed up the workspace, and then copied over only the directories that I needed, instead of the entire workspace as I had been doing.

The result of starting fresh is that some hidden files residing in the old workspace were not longer present and the triggers for installing the connector executed properly.

everything was fine after that.

Problem

I have installed the latest Eclipse (Kepler) into a new directory and can no longer access my repositories through Eclipse. As far as I can tell, I've set up everything properly after 2 days of trying to fix this. wtf? Should I just ditch the supposedly better, newer Eclipse and go back a step so I can at least work?
