Subclipse icons

December 12, 2006 3:49 PM

I'm using Eclipse with Subclipse. Until recently, in Eclipse's Navigator window, there were little icons on each folder and file telling you if they had been changed since the last commit. The icons have gone. How do I get them back?

Subclipse seems to be working fine aside from this. The 'Team' submenu on the context menu in the Navigator panel is still there, and committing and updating still works fine. Have tried reinstalling Eclipse and plugins &mdash — no joy.

Eclipse 3.2.1 on XP; Subclipse 1.0.4; PyDev 1.2.5.

Try reinstalling Subclipse?

I had some issues crop up with Subclipse version inconsistancies this past week that were solved by replacing the JavaHL DLLs.

I've reinstalled Eclipse and Subclipse already, yellowbkpk. I'll try installing various different versions of both as a last resort, but I was hoping there would be some option buried away in Eclipse's labyrinthine preferences that would turn the icons on again.

Ah-ha! I've found the relevant option. Open Preferences, and go to General > Appearance > Label Decorations, and tick 'SVN'. I had no idea they were called label decorations, and haven't a clue how they became disabled.

I hope it's not big-headed to mark one's own answer as best.

FYI, Subclipse has a newer version for eclipse 3.2: 1.1.8. However, we stopped using it at my office due to some consistency issues with checking in selected files and having only partial sets checked-in. Buyer beware.
