Display current branch name in Eclipse / Subclipse

Question

I have a project setup in Eclipse that is linked to our SVN repository using Subclipse. Is there a way to display the name of the current branch I'm in next to the project. I am sure I saw it before, but now it is gone, and I can’t find out how to switch this function anywhere. Hope you can help.

Thanks.

By default, subclipse will display the current branch information (in square brackets) next to the project name inside the Package Explorer view.

This is configured inside the Window → Preferences window in the following location:

Command → SVN → Shortcut Decorations (Text tab) → Project Format

If you somehow lost the default setting, here it is:

{dirty_flag} {name} [{url_short}]
