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

Viewed 23649

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

Delete the file:

<ECLIPSE_WS>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\<PROJECT_NAME>\.indexes\properties.index

And the Share Project option appears!

Please double check if you were using: Subversive or Subclipse?

It is likely that you have opened an old project with a newer Eclipse installation, where the software to be used may not be the one used previously, for example:

  • Subclipse instead of Subversive
  • Subversive instead of Subclipse

In my case after a fresh install of "Eclipse IDE for PHP Developers" Version: 2018-09 (4.9.0) Build id: 20180917-1800 while I needed to make some modifications to an ancient SVN tracked project.

I had Subclipse instead of Subversive (so simple yet you may be up for a spin).
Credit to the answer from Yaniv, he had installed the software the other way around - same issue.
