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 input this, for example:
http://svn.python.org/projects/peps/trunk
I get this:
Error validating location: "org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: RA layer request failed svn: OPTIONS of 'http://svn.python.org/projects/peps/trunk': could not connect to server (http://svn.python.org) " Keep location anyway?
I know that my Eclipse can connect to the Internet, because I downloaded Subclipse earlier (I had to change my proxy settings).
I get a similar message for other SVN locations I've tried to add.
What is the solution?
Eclipse is an open-source and free, java-based development platform. It is well known for its excellent plug-ins that allow developers to develop and test code written in different programming languages. Eclipse IDE support built-in integration for Subversion.
To install Subversive: Start Eclipse and select menu item 'Help > Instal New Software...' Then selec common software repository or if you need to install Subversive only, you can directly add Subversive update site by pressing 'Add' button. On the 'Add Repository' form enter the URL to the Subversive update site.
This is a dead topic, but the solution is to install a client adapter along with Subclipse.
Take a look at this, and install SVN Client Adapter, SVNKit Adapter, and SVNKit Library.
Then check under Window -> Preference -> Team -> SVN and make sure there is an entry for SVN Interface.
And for future reference, if you can connect to the repository through the command line, then it must be a problem with the IDE.
