Cannot copy/rename file in Eclipse error

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion addresses an error encountered in Eclipse when attempting to copy or rename a file, specifically the error message: "org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: RA layer request failed svn: Server sent unexpected return value (405 method not allowed) in response to MKACTIVITY request." This indicates that the file is likely managed by a remote Subversion (SVN) version control system, which restricts standard file manipulation commands. Users must utilize SVN-specific commands for file operations to avoid this error.

Every time i try and copy or rename a file in Eclipse, I get the error

Is the file on a remote version control system? "subversion" in that error message would lead me to think so. If that's the case it may not be possible to use "regular" file manipulation commands. I know exactly the name "subversion" about subversion so take this with a grain or two...
