Importing in Eclipse an existing SVN checkout

I have made an SVN checkout (using Tortoise SVN). Then imported it in Eclipse workspace (placed in a different directory) as Makefile Project with Existing Code. This seemed to work fine.

But it appears that Eclipse doesn't see that this is an SVN checkout. I don't see any way of for example looking at local changes to a file or its history.

Yet I do have SVN plugins in Eclipse. In particular I can browse the SVN repository without a problem.

How to tell Eclipse to work with existing checkout? Is that possible?

If not I could consider checking out from within Eclipse (but will I still be able to use that checkout with Tortoise SVN?). But how to make it to external directory (not a subdirectory of workspace)? How then to make Eclipse interpret it as Makefile Project with Existing Code?

Update:

I have following software installed within Eclipse:

  • Collaboration
    • Subversive SVN Integration for the Mylyn Project (Optional) 1.1.0.I20130527-1700
    • Subversive SVN JDT Ignore Extensions (Optional) 1.1.0.I20130527-1700
    • Subversive SVN Team Provider 1.1.0.I20130527-1700
    • Subversive SVN Team Provider Localization (Optional) 1.1.0.I20130527-1700
    • Subversive SVN Team Provider Sources 1.1.0.I20130527-1700
  • Subversive SVN Connectors
    • Subversive SVN Connectors 3.0.1.I20130507-1700
    • SVNKit 1.7.9 Implementation (Optional) 3.0.1.I20130507-1700

And from Eclipse Marketplace:

  • Subversive - SVN Team Provider

In Preferences/Team/SVN/SVN Connector I can chose one of:

  • Native JavaHL 1.7.9 r1462340 (SVN 1.7.9)
  • SVNKit 1.7.9 r9659_v20130411_2103 (SVN 1.7.9 compatible, all platforms)

Tortoise SVN is in version 1.8.1, Build 24570, 64bit (Eclipse is 32).

If eclipse doesn't recognize the SVN connection you are missing one of subclipse or subversive plug-in in eclipse. With one of these installed you can also check out from eclipse. And yes TortoiseSVN will be able to commit if you check out with eclipse. – Kai
@user714965 I have updated the question with more details on what I have installed. What am I missing then? – Adam Badura

A few notes that might help:

  1. Looks like your Tortoise SVN is 1.8.x, but your Eclipse plugins are 1.7.x. SVNKit website does state that 1.7.x SVNKit will not read 1.8.x SVN trees. Generally speaking, I think it is best for the SVNKit version to match your SVN version.

  2. A beta version of SVNKit 1.8.x is available if you would like to try it: http://svnkit.com/download.php.

  3. Eclipse has always been finicky for me with regards to upgrading modules and retroactive source base detection. When I upgraded from SVN 1.6 to 1.7, I had to delete my project from Eclipse and re-import it in order to get Eclipse to start displaying the "Team" menu options again.
