Description MH CLA 2010-09-22 11:56:55 EDT
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

If I create an SVN tag, a copy is created in the new tag directory. (Of course an SVN copy and not a real copy). However, for each such tag copy, Eclipse shows a separate run configuration with the same name (of course).

First I deleted the copies but then SVN complains about changes in the tag versions. Of course, I don't want any changes in the SVN tag versions. So I ask my self, how can I somehow hide/remove all thos duplicate run configurations that result from the SVN tag copies?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create Java project
2. Check project into SVN
3. the project has a subdirectory "tags" for the SVN tags
4. create a tag of your projects in your tag/ subdirectory

=> the run configuration shows duplicates of all Eclipse's run configurations of this project. This also duplicates for each tag.

Judging from the description it seems that the workspace meta-information was somehow committed to the SVN and then tagged. While it is not a crime to commit to SVN anything, it is just unreasonable to commit the workspace meta and there is no saying which side effects you may run into while doing so.
