org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Attempted to lock an already-locked dir svn

I had this error when I tried to update my source directory of my project. The reason for this exception is unsuccessful previous commit/update with svn. For example when you close your eclipse when a transaction takes place.

How do I resolve this issue?

1. Right Click your project and select Team --> Cleanup
2. Now try to do your update/commit

Try to do it at your project level since even if you try cleanup at source level and if the project has a lock, you will still not be able to do an update/commit.
