Eclipse hangs on SVN commit
Posted by Steve on November 20th, 2009
If you have a big project you try to check in to a subversion repository, eclipse can get part of the way through and then just hang. The only solution is to end task (or force quit on OSX).
But there is a solution!
This one eluded me (and google) for some time, but I am pleased to say that with the help of the Eclipse mailing list I have found the answer.
Open up the Eclipse preferences, choose Team -> SVN -> Console and uncheck the box that says ‘Limit Console Output’. With this option checked it seems that once Eclipse reaches the limit of the console output, it just freezes. I’m now able to check in a project with a lot of files and it’s all working excellently.

Hey that’s nice, trying this fix now!
This workaround worked for me, thanks a bunch!
[...] So, I added the Zend library to one of my project, wanted the auto complete and what not. Now I’m using Eclipse to commit the huge Zend library and everything crashed. What do I do? Try it one more time, same result. I googled and found a solution. [...]
Seems to still work in Helios, Eclipse 3.6. Thanks!
Now how do I enable svn checkin error text to show in the console? Under Galileo that worked fine, now I can’t read the errors unless I check in from the command line.
Thank you, Steve. ^^
Thanks you are life saver. I have been working on this last a couple of days and almost give up using svn.
[...] some googling (read here) it seems that the problem is due to a limit on the console [...]
You are awesome.
