since I use SpringSource ToolSuite 2.7.1 and installed the latest Subclipse Plugin (1.6.x), this plugin ask’s me every time I commit something into the repo for my password, regardless I’ve enabled the ‘Save Password’ checkbox. As I know, the Subclipse plugin doesn’t store the credentials itself, instead use the authentication informations from the underlying SVN adapter so I try the following without any success:
1) delete ~/.subversion/auth
2) delete ~/.eclipse_keyring
After restarting STS the password dialog prompts again every time.
With Eclipse Indigo and the same Subclipse Plugin installed, this strange behavior doesn’t happend, the passowrd is taken automatically as expected.
If I use svn from the command line, after I initially enter my passwords, it’s used automatically and doesn’t annoying me any longer.
Any sugggestions, why this doesn’t work under SpringSource Toolsuite ?
Kind regards

SOLVED: the reason was, that the STS.app do not has access to the MacOS X KeyChain for the SVN password. So therefor it has to ask again and again. The used Eclipse.app was added as trusted app for accessing the stored svn password. Strangely, I can’t add STS.app to the list of trusted apps for the SVS password entry, but thats another question here. If I activate the ‘access for every program’ checkbox, STS.app is enable to read this password and don’t ask any longer !
