Changing Jdev SVN repository credentials when username/password changed

Jdeveloper caches SVN repository credentials when versioning application(SVN) is configured
There is no easy way to update user name/password when credentials are changed
You might think you can create new connection with changed credentials but Jdev doesn't allow you to create one more connection with same repository url

The only way I can feel is clearing Jdev cache.

Follow below steps to clear Jdev cache.

  • Stop Jdeveloper
  • Locate your cached svn credential in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.6.38.61.92\o.jdeveloper.subversion\repository.xml
  • Rename the repository.xml
  • Recreate your connection to the repository in Jdeveloper
  • The repository.xml is recreated with correct credentials
  • Start the jdeveloper
Another option is we can directly go to above said path,open repository.xml  and put changed credentials details over there and start the jdev, but problem with this option is plain text password is stored which is not a good practise.
If you wanted to verify certain SVN parameters then please go to

Tools -> Preferences -> Versioning -> General -> Edit "server"
