the Subversive SVN Connectors does not appear after rebooting eclipse Juno IDE after installing svn from the eclipse marketplace.

any ideas?

Because of this issue i cannot assign a svn connector to the svn eclipse plugin so therefore it cannot do any svn features at all.

i am running windows 8 and tried to run eclipse in Admin mode but still no joy. anywhere i can download the connectors manually and if so, where do i install it?

I think you can install also connectors from Eclipse Marketplace – jddsantaella
I cant find them in the marketplace. they dont seem to be there – Jonathan
I did find the connectors from the Yoxos marketplace but after i rebooted eclipse, SVN still cannot find a connector – Jonathan
I accidentally cancelled the dialog when it first showed. It really is a bad design that can't give you a second chance. – clockworkgeek

Might help someone...

From polarion use this update site. I installed just

  1. subversive SVN Connectors
  2. SVNKit 1.7.5.v1 Implementation
  3. SVN Team provider connectors source

After this I found in eclipse preferences Team->SVN has the svn kit 1.7.5 selected and everything started to working.

Just remove .metadata folder in your workspace directory and restart

then windows -> preference -> team -> svn click. It will appear

For me, switching to a fresh workspace fixed the issue. I followed this link. The automatic connector discovery tool popped up once I switched to a new workspace.

I cannot add new comments. Just facing same problem. Updating @Saran answer:

Eclipse Mars site is

http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/5.0/mars-site/

Eclipse Luna site is

http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/4.0/luna-site/

Eclipse Kepler site is

http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/3.0/kepler-site/

You can install svn conectors manually from there.

(Remember: Help menu -> Install new software -> paste site url)

Can I suggest the CollabNet Eclipse desktop instead of the Marketplace SVN?

http://desktop-eclipse.open.collab.net/

I've found its installation to be much less painful than any other way of getting SVN into Eclipse.

Switching workspaces worked.

Also for newer Subversive version`s, the connectors show on the: windows > preferences > team > svn (in a tab inside this window), instead of the old svn > connectors menu.

  1. Close your Eclipse.
  2. In your workspace directory, open (.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.team.svn.ui.prefs).
  3. Change the option firstStartup=false to firstStartup=true.
  4. Re-open Eclipse again.
