Eclipse keeps asking for svn password

Issue

Whenever I'm trying to synchronize/update my projects with SVN repo it asks me for password. It drives me nuts, I'm checking "save password" checkbox and it doesn't work at all.. what is more, I cant use a simple password.

It might be somehow connected with my company's proxy but eclipse plugin update sites work just fine.

I have a Subversion directory in my AppData dir, maybe I should delete this? I can also provide additional info, I just don't know what may be relevant.

I'm using Subclipse with JavaHL provider and my Eclipse version is 4.4.2 but I have the same problem on Eclipse 3.7.2

Solution

This one worked well : http://www.thinkplexx.com/learn/howto/ide/eclipse/fix-eclipse-svn-always-asking-for-login-and-password-clear-keyring-or-cache

There is some files to delete :

• Delete (or rename .old) in Eclipse : /configuration/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.keyring
• Remove the file in your profile (AppData/Roaming or ~) : /.subversion/auth/svn.simple

Go to SVN perspective and enter login/password. Should keep it now.
