Eclipse fuckup

Content:

Eclipse is supposed to be a serious IDE.

SVN is still used some placves (even though the vast majority has switched to Git).

So why is it that installing SVN plugin in a recent Eclipse does not work due to TabFolderLayout class missing????

And the best know workaround is extremely hackish: take an old Eclipse install that has org.eclipse.compare_3.10.0.v20240208-0728.jar and copy org/eclipse/compare/internal/TabFolderLayout.class to the new Eclipse org.eclipse.compare_3.11.400.v20250513-1235.jar.
