Once the account info (username, password or repository url) is set in JDeveloper, SVN (subversion) plugin its hard to change any of these using jDeveloper.

Here is how these can be changed:
  1. Save your data and close JDeveloper

  3. Rename the file repositories.xml to repositories.xml.bak
  4. Open JDeveloper and try to checkout a file, it will ask you to enter the account information again.
