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

Question

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

Solve this problem with these steps:

• Verify that you can update using TortoiseSVN (this will guarantee that your .svn is not corrupt)
• Delete all your projects that have this problem, but in the delete dialog, do not delete the project contents!
• Select File -> Import -> Existing projects into Workspace.
• Select your projects folder or your workspace folder.

Subeclipse should now detect and connect your projects automatically, without need to select 'Share Project' for each one of them.
