Eclipse, Subclipse 1.8.2, SVN 1.7.0 asks password every action

eclipse, java, javahl, subclipse, svn

Solution

The once per session caching is a feature that SVNKit provides. JavaHL does not provide this. It sounds like you do not allow SVN to cache your credentials or you are using svn+ssh:// in which case SVN cannot cache your credentials. If it is the latter, you can store your SSH key on the server to avoid logging in and run ssh-agent on your client to provide the certificate to the SSH client.

Problem

After I installed new Eclipse Indigo, it asks me for password every action I do in SVN Repository perspective (e.g. browse through every single folder ask password again). Normally use SVNKit, it ask for password once per session. SVNKit doesn't support SVN 1.7.0 yet. How can I fix this or is it normal behavior of JavaHL? Note: I don't want to save the password, but I want to enter the password once per session & repository. If I restart eclipse, I want to enter password again. Settings: - Eclipse Indigo SR1 - Subclipse 1.8.2 - SVN 1.7.0 (workspace) - SVN Client: JavaHL 1.7.1 Update: SVNKit 1.7.4 is now available.
