How to remove old repository URL from MercurialEclipse plugins repository location field

Question

I've a mercurial repository to which I push my changes with eclipses MercurialEclipse plugin, using Team -> Push. Now the repository URL has changed, and eclipse always remembers the old url in the input field, which is preselected as default, and I need to select the new one from the pull down list. Very small problem, but annoying none the less.. Is there a way to clear the old value from the field, so that I don't always need to pick the URL manually until the end of time?

Alternatively, how to change the default repository entry to be the new one?

Answer 1

Found out myself that you can change the default by right clicking on repository -> properties -> mercurial -> change default repository. Also allows for deleting the old repository URL from the same interface.

Answer 2

If none of the other answers work, you can go to [your_eclipse_workspace]\.metadata\.plugins\com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse and look at repositories.txt and the corresponding repositories.txt for the project.

I deleted some URLs in both, and now they've disappeared :)

Answer 3

In Eclipse Helios team synchronize view you can click on "Synchronize..." from the toolbar. This will let you switch the repo used for sync.
