ecplipse keeps asking for a password

Here it is another frustrating thing that annoyed me for a week at least..

Content: eclipse + svn repository

My password saved in eclipse was out of date.. so then I had to use a new one.
the problem is that eclipse memorized the old password and didn't allow me to overwrite it with the new one.. even if I have been clicking all the time on the "save password" tick.

Because of this eclipse was asking me me new password for every action that was involving the svn server.. very very annoying..

I finally found out this morning a way to avoid this:
go in

Window -> Preferences ->Team -> SVN -> password manager
and remove the password that has been saved there..

now restart eclipse and do an svn update
save the password..

and MAGIC.. eclipse doesn't ask you anymore to insert the new password.
YEAH!! ;)

bye,
Grazia
