subclipse not showing "share project" option on project context menu in eclipse

Question

Within eclipse, with Subclipse installed, if I right click a project and select "team" there are normally 2 options:

• apply patch
• share project

Once you have shared project you get the full Subclipse menu from "team"

One project however only has one option - apply patch. If I close the project I see both options but the share project option is grayed out.

I have other projects where this is not happening.

What could be special about this project to stop me getting the share project option? Is there another path to the share project function I could use?

Regards

Answer 1

This is usually the case when the directory containing the project is not properly under version control (bad or corrupted .svn).

So:

• can you execute SVN commands in a shell a the root of your project?
• where are your .project and .classpath files (in the eclipse workspace or at the root directory of your project?)
