Using autoprops in eclipse for all files and folders in an svn project

Pre-commit triggers recently introduced to my institution's svn are proving troublesome.

They require every file to have the property:

Manually (in eclipse), I can right-click on the Java Project Folder and navigate Team>SetProperty. I then enter the properties listed above one by one ticking apply property recursively to all resources before clicking OK.

I am then able to commit.

This process is arduous and has to be repeated every time a new file is introduced.

As a result, I am keen to implement the use of autoprops within eclipse.

Navigating Window>Preferences>Team>SVN>Properties Configuration, I import the following file:

[auth]

[helpers]

[tunnels]

[miscellany]
enable-auto-props = yes

[auto-props]
*.* = svn:mime-type=text/plain;svn:eol-style=native

This works great for files. However, the settings are not applied to newly created directories.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Regards.

If you use Subversion 1.8 or newer client then you can start using the svn:auto-props versioned property to set these svn:mime-type, svn:eol-style and other properties automatically. See the following articles:

This works great for files. However, the settings are not applied to newly created directories.

The value of auto-props section you have is *.*. The property applies only to files and directories with the name like foo.bar. You can leave just * and the property will apply to all newly-added items.
