Adding a SVN repository in Eclipse

Question

I\'m trying to add an SVN repository to Eclipse.

I\'ve installed Subclipse, and it seems to be working fine. But, when I try to \"add a new SVN repository\", I inpu

Answer 1

I doubt that Subclipse and then SVN can use your Eclipse proxy settings. You'll probably need to set the proxy for your SVN program itself. Trying to check out the files using SVN from the command line should tell you if that works.

If SVN can't connect either then put the proxy settings in your servers file in your Subversion settings folder (in your home folder).

If it can't do it even with the proxy settings set, then your firewall is probably blocking the methods and protocols that Subversion needs to use to download the files.

Answer 2

I found this problem when I changed my SVN password.

How to resolve First, remove Subversion folder in {Documents and Settings}{user login}\Application Data\Subversion -> It doesn't work

After, rename my current user login profile from {Documents and Settings}{user login} to {Documents and Settings}{user login}_bakup and login agian -> It work...

I assumed -> SVN or JavaHL bind authorized user with {user login} or keep it in user profile of window.

Answer 3

In my case was an access issue. I needed to change the protocol to svn+ssh instead of http.

For example, instead of http://svn.python.org/projects/peps/trunk

try svn+ssh://svn.python.org/projects/peps/trunk

Answer 4

Try to connect to the repository using command line SVN to see if you get a similar error.

$ svn checkout http://svn.python.org/projects/peps/trunk

If you keep getting the error, it is probably an issue with your proxy server. I have found that I can't check out internet based SVN projects at work because the firewall blocks most HTTP commands. It only allows GET, POST and others necessary for browsing.

Answer 5

It is probably of little help to you, but I enter that URL into Subclipse and the repository adds fine and I can browse and Show History on it.

Do you perhaps need to configure a proxy? You have to configure that in the Subversion runtime configuration area as Subclipse uses the Subversion libraries to connect to the server.

When trying to connect to the Collabnet subversion from eclipse I was also getting the same error as 'Peter Hilton' described in his original post. I changed the settings of Active Provided from 'Native' to 'manual' in windows->Preferences->General->Network Connections. This worked for me. I think this was a proxy problem but with my old settints eclipse was connecting to the internet from where i DOWNLOADED THE subversion plugins.
