So this was a good one for me. Everytime I upgrade from Ganymede to Galileo and then reinstall the subclipse plugin the SVN perspective is missing. I searched around a lot on this and got a lot of pages that said this couldnt happen and the initiator of the discussion gave up and clean installed the whole of eclipse.
I came across this post:

So how I have eclipse setup is its installed as root and I use it as my user name. The theory is more than one login can use it. So as the link stated it was creating a $HOME/.eclipse dir. I couldnt get past that though.
In the end I uninstalled subclipse and removed the $HOME/.eclipse dir and then started eclipse as root and installed the plugin while running as root.
Once the subclipse plugin was installed I restarted eclipse with my login and everything was fine.

ReplyDeleteRunning "eclipse -clean" as root resolved the issue for me.
