SVN Error on Eclipse

Using Eclipse as my Java editor, and attempting to update the desired codes and to mark the version on SVN with TechieDan’s codes has prompted this error from eclipse.

“Attempted to lock an already-locked dir svn:”

Now looking at this, nothing was updated and a solution was needed to be able to update codes. The solution is pretty simple though. After browsing through the web, it looks like that there was some synchronization errors and all one need to do is to clean up the SVN.

Right click on Desired Project > Team > Cleanup.

The following should work. If all else fails here’s the other alternative, which is to delete the lock file.

Shutdown your Eclipse.
Go to .svn folder and delete .lock file(s).

If you’re still getting some error, make sure to check for case sensitivities of file in the repository. This prevents the repository from being checked out on Windows because Windows is unable to distinguish the two same named files. Ex: abc.jpg and abc.JPG.

Java enthusiasts and coders and programmers alike, how many of you are using Eclipse as your IDE to do your codes. For those in the Java field but still trying to find a good IDE, I would recommend Eclipse. Just so happens that Eclipse codename their newest version with Galileo. Instead of versifying their release, it’s now codenamed.

Here’s the part of a Welcome Screen once Eclipse is freshly installed.

As a Techie, TechieDan will show how to setup your Eclipse to run with your JDK. By default your IDE will try to run with your JRE, but by doing so you will be limited with the stuffs you can do without the whole JDK package.

How to setup your JDK in Eclipse IDE.

From the above screen, once Eclipse is started up, go to Windows Option > Preferences.

Look for Java > Installed JREs.

Click on Add > Next (Standard VM).

Then Locate Directory of your installed JDK. Then clicked finish.

Finally the screen will return back to the selection of JREs, now select your JDK option.

As can be seen from above, TechieDan is using JDK 6 to compile and run the Java programs.

Why use Eclipse?

It’s free
It’s open source – additional programmers from all walk of life.
It integrates with lots of other plugin
Other than Java, there’s also an Eclipse IDE for C and PHP

Now that I have setup my Eclipse, what else should I do?

Well, this is where you should start learning how to write and begin writing a simple Hello World java program.

Mentioning about Eclipse, where to get this marvelous IDE?

The only place to get it all is at Eclipse’s main website. To download the IDE go to THIS LINK.
