problem with S status java classes

[Joel Nylund <jn...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I have an ongoing problem with my svn repository, It has mainly to do  
with java class files

It seems somehow the class files think they are in the repository even  
though they are not, when we try to delete these class files, the  
sources get deleted also. I couldnt figure this out, but now I noticed  
that the classes folder is a status of "S".

so for example before I build it looks like this:

~      Happier/WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes

after I build it looks like:

     S  Happier/WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes
?      WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes/com/happier/goodday/actions/ 
GraphController.class
!      WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes/com/happier/goodday/actions/ 
GraphController.java

I get lots of these.

Now when I browse the repository it doesnt even show the classes  
folder in the repository.

But when I do an update after building, I get:

Restored 'WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes/com/happier/goodday/actions/ 
GraphController.java'


Its like somehow svn thinks my classes folder is my source folder...

ugh, this is a mess, please please help me figure it out, I have been  
using svn for 2 years with ruby with no problems, but with java its  
been one nightmare after another.

thanks
Joel

Subversion does not distinguish file types in this manner; it is  
likely a coincidence that you are seeing problems with Java files  
specifically.

The "S" means that the directory is "S"witched to a different URL.  
Find out what URL with "svn info" on that directory. Perhaps your  
classes directory has been inadvertently switched to your source  
directory.

You can "svn switch" it back to where it's supposed to be, or if you  
can't work it out, just check out a new working copy from the  
repository, and manually move over any changed *files* from your old  
working copy that you want to keep, and that should fix it too.

Do not move *directories* over from your old working copy, as working  
copy directories contain a .svn directory with administrative  
information that allows Subversion to know what part of the  
repository it's linked to. Since that's what's not right in your  
case, you don't want to possibly copy the problem from the old  
working copy to the new one.
