I have a project ProjectA in Eclipse that is checkout through SVN. What I want to do is remove this SVN project locally and create a new, purely local project also called ProjectA. So I disconnect first, then delete locally, then try to create a new ProjectA. However upon creating this project the connection re-opens!
You could go to the project in you file explorer / outside of eclipse and delete all the .svn folders. If you are using svn 1.7 client or above then you're lucky and have only one folder in the first level of your working copy, otherwise you'll have to delete that folder from each sub directory in your working copy.
Import the project back to eclipse as java project.

I would like to start the program from this repository: https://github.com/SaifurRahmanMohsin/Personal-Diary but when I dowload it and open the project in Eclipse I am not able to build/compile it. So i also can't run it.
Do I have to change run configurations or build a working set or something like that? I usually don't work with Eclipse so I am a bit overwhelmed.

Check out. Delete the files .project, .classpath, and folder .settings before you import because those hold data unrelated to your system.
File, Import, Project from existing sources
Pick the inner Personal Diary folder, not the repo folder
You will need to download two libraries to add to the classpath
JSON-Simple and Apache HTTP Client
I want to make it so, that when I export my project, Eclipse would create .jar file as well as folders and other files I desire on the same path. I am making a game and I rely a lot on external files, be it animation images or scripts, and it is very annoying copy pasting same stuff over and over again, additionally to making the "run" option not viable.
You can use Eclipse File sync Plugin to solve your problem, basically
this plugin synchronizes your eclipse workspace files to any external
folder you configured:
FileSync plugin for Eclipse is a file synchronisation tool. The main
goal is to keep files outside of Eclipse projects in-sync with Eclipse
project files. The plugin works as builder in Eclipse and will
synchronize all changes on Eclipse project files with mapped external
folders. E.g. if a file is created, changed or deleted in Eclipse,
then the mapped (external) file will be created, changed or deleted
too.

How can I make sure a project that is shown in my workspace is actually part of the workspace. Below, I will explain what happened so that you know why I'm asking this question.
I had checked out a project into my workspace, and then had configured it as a Maven project by selecting Configure->Convert to Maven Project; in most cases, when I do this, the project becomes part of the workspace. But in this case it hadn't. But I spent a few hours before realizing that I need to import the project in order for the workspace to recognize it as workspace project. So, I want to avoid this situation and be able to look at a flag or file or something that tells me if a project that is shown in the Eclipse window is actually a workspace project.
Thanks
I'm adding the following to make the problem more clear:
This is what I do; I have a workspace with a few projects (all Java/Maven project); everything works. Then I checkout another project from svn into the workspace; so, the folder of the new project is within the same workspace. I expected that as soon as I check out the new project into the workspace, and convert the new project into a Maven project, then the new project be recognized by Eclipse as one of the projects in the workspace. But that is not the case; I actually have to import it.
The project folder is there, and I can see it in the Project explorer. Nothing happens to it, but it is not used by the workspace. For example, if I add breakpoints to the Java files which are in the new project, they are not used. At this point, I use File->Import menu to import the project from the same folder that is already in the workspace, and bang, it starts working, and my breakpoints work.
Is my procedure for checking out a project from SVN into the workspace wrong? I want to fix my procedure to make sure this will never happen. Do you think that even though the new project is a subfolder of workspace, I should still need to import the project into the workspace?
I just noted another fact; this particular project that I'm importing is a Maven multi-module; could it be that the parent project is actually part of the workspace, but the modules inside it are not; therefore, just because it is a Maven multi-module, I need to import the sub-modules.
There are four ways to create a project in Eclipse:
create
Create in a default location (workspace folder on a filesystem)
Create in user-specified location (anywhere)
import
Project is referenced from workspace, untouched otherwise, location on a filesystem is unchanged
Project is copied into default location
You probably want to know if a project is located in workspace folder on filesystem. To do this, you can open project's properties and find location in resource node:
"... in order for the workspace to recognize it as a workspace project..." doesn't make any sense to me. I'm not exactly an eclipse expert, but a workspace is the set of directories in which you are working at one time in eclipse. There can be more than one workspace for eclipse on a given machine.
If you checked it out and it appeared in eclipse, then it was "in the workspace" afaik. Now, Maven tasks create and change files, and those changes do not automatically show up in the workspace -- you have to refresh the project, which essentially syncs the filespace with the workspace.
If that doesn't cover your case, then detail what you mean by "not in the workspace".
I am using Eclipse 3.8.1. I have one project with sources and one which I build.
--ProjectSRC (from svn)
-- src
--main.java
--Project_build (builded project using ProjectSRC files)
--src
--main.java
--build
main.class
I have svn project and I downloaded locally these files but I want to make a new project from them. I am trying to link sources but when I change something in eclipse for example in file main.java in Project_build , another project in eclipse which is linked with the svn do not see changes of this file, so I have to copy changes manually, or to build the project with sources. And if I do that, when I synchronize with the repository there are a lot of build directories and .project files which every time I have to unchecked.
So how to connect sources from one svn project and to create new with them and when a change become to be reflected on the two places, through Eclipse?
I had a Java project in Netbeans IDE, which I had to move to the Eclipse IDE. As we all know, the folder structure of both these IDEs is different. I already had the Netbeans version of my project checked-in on SVN repository.
Now, I want to use the same SVN location to check-in the Eclipse version of the same project with the same name. Since I created a brand new Eclipse Java project on my local and just copied the source files from Netbeans to Eclipse, I obviously do not have the '.svn' folders in my project.
How to do this?
Thanks!
just take your "eclipse" project and copy it back over the netbeans one - then commit the result
you will get both in 1 folder (if i understood your setup correctly)
