How to import an already checked out svn repository into Eclipse?

I have a Subversion repository I have checked out and have in my local hard disk. Now, how do I import this into Eclipse?

When I choose File > Import and choose SVN, there is only an option to checkout a project from the server again. File > New project seems to be for projects we are creating new projects from 开发者_JAVA技巧scratch.

"Import..." the existing project then "Share..." the project. The Subversive (or SubClipse) client will realize that the project has a .svn folder and reattach to the repository.

In Eclipse click on:

File -> Import -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace

However you have to define a workspace location being different from the one that is being checked out in order to prevent yourself from changes to the checked out repository.

I've tried with File->Import Projects from File System or Archive, and in the blank space of Import source, you just need to browse through button Directory.. and find the project path you wanted to import. Then the svn connection is automatically detected.

Install the subversive plugin from market place or from update site.

Use appropriate SVN connectors during setup Windows->Preferances->Team->SVN->SVNConnectors. SVNKit 1.8.11 worked for me.

Make sure Enable automatic project share checkbox is set at this location Windows->Preferances->Team->SVN->General

Just import the existing SVN project File->Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace, then eclipse will automatically recognize it based on the .svn hidden folder. Need not explicitly do Team->Share project.
