I could not run any SVN commands using Subversive (clean, update, etc) with Eclipse Version: 3.7.2, Build id: M20120208-0800. It simply hangs with the command "Secure Storage Initialization". After this, I cannot cancel the operation or close eclipse.

The answer to my problem was that the file in %USERPROFILE%\.eclipse\org.eclipse.equinox.security\secure_storage had either become corrupted or one of the key-value pairs was causing the failure. I moved the file out of the directory, restarted Eclipse, and everything is working fine, again.

I hate to post a question with an answer, but I couldn't find anything on the web that matched my problem so I thought it might help others.

  • I would encourage you to write an answer on this. It simply works, even there's no reference in the internet. Thanks! – Aritz Mar 11 '16 at 07:44

  • This is probably a general Eclipse problem. We encountered the "Secure Storage Initialization" message and freeze up, but our version of Eclipse is Rational Developer for IBM i, and has no Subversive related plugins. – WarrenT Jul 25 '17 at 17:23

Just reposting your answer as valid answer:

The problem was that the file in C:\Users\[user]\.eclipse\org.eclipse.equinox.security\secure_storage had either become corrupted or one of the key-value pairs was causing the failure. I moved the file out of the directory, restarted Eclipse, and everything is working fine, again.
