A few people (myself, and Julien to some degree, at least) have had problems with Eclipse randomly losing the subversive association between projects and svn, so that they would have to be checked out again from Eclipse. Or the fact that when trying to re-enable svn for a project, we would have to fill all information by hand instead of having subversive autodetect all the settings.

The reason behind these problems is the use of a command-line svn 1.3. Between 1.2 and 1.3, there was a subtle change to the the format of a file under .svn which made subversive's embedded JavaSVN puke and fail to recognize a directory as svn-enabled if you manipulated the sources from the command line svn.

Solutions:

- do not use command-line svn >= 1.3

- use recent's Subversive possibility of using a JavaHL library for svn that uses the plaform's native svn libraries (needs - Djava.library.path=/usr/lib or -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib added to eclipse's eclipse.ini)

- upgrade to the latest Subversive 1.1.0 M9, which embeds JavaSVN 1.0.4 who understands svn 1.3

The latter is obviously the simplest.
