How to change credentials for SVN repository in Eclipse?

Question

http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/PluginFAQ#head-d507c29676491f4419997a76735feb6ef0aa8cf8:

Usernames and passwords

Subclipse does not collect or store username and password credentials when defining a repository. This is because the JavaHL and SVNKit client adapters are intelligent enough to prompt you for this information when they need to -- including when your password has changed.

You can also allow the adapter to cache this information and a common question is how do you delete this cached information so that you can be prompted again? We have an open request to have an API added to JavaHL so that we could provide a UI to do this. Currently, you have to manually delete the cache. The location of the cache varies based on the client adapter used.

JavaHL caches the information in the same location as the command line client -- in the Subversion runtime configuration area. On Windows this is located in %APPDATA%\Subversion\auth. On Linux and OSX it is located in ~/.subversion/auth. Just find and delete the file with the cached information.

SVNKit caches information in the Eclipse keyring. By default this is a file named .keyring that is stored in the root of the Eclipse configuration folder. Both of these values can be overriden with command line options. To clear the cache, you have to delete the file. Eclipse will create a new empty keyring when you restart

My wife suggested:

1. Open SVN Repositories View
2. Open Location Properties...
3. Show Credentials For: press [X] button
4. Select user, write password, press [Finish]

and all work!!!

Go to c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\subversion\auth\svn.simple

and delete the hexadecimal file. Normally each file is associated with one repository

It's too simple to change username and password in Eclipse.

Just follow the following steps:

In your Eclipse,

Goto Window -> Show View -> Other -> (Type as) SVN Repositories -> click that(SVN Repositories) -> Right Click SVN Repositories -> Location Properties -> General tab change the following details for credentials.,

that's it.

On Mac OS X, go to folder /$HOME (/Users/{user home}/). You will see file '.eclipse_keyring'. Remove it. All saved credentials will be lost.

On any Windows Version delete the following folder:

%APPDATA%\Subversion\auth

(You can copy&paste this to RUN/Explorer, and it will resolve the App-Data-Folder for you.)

On Linux and OSX it is located in

~/.subversion/auth

On Windows 7, go to C:\Users\%User_Name%\AppData\Roaming\Subversion and remove the auth directory. Just be aware if you are connected to more than 1 SVN server that this will remove the authentication for all of the SVN servers you have configured. If you want to reset just a single server:

Inside the auth directory you should see a folder called svn.simple. Open each of those files with a text editor to determine which one to remove and then remove just that single file.
