Eclipse (Indigo) subversive 0.7.9: bad_record_mac

Question

When trying to use subversive with my beanstalk svn repo (https://beanstalkapp.com) I get the following type of error:

Some of selected resources were not committed.
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Received fatal alert: bad_record_mac

This works fine via the command line, just not with eclipse or the subversive svn plugin. I've read that its to do with not allowing old versions of SSL but cannot find any way of fixing it in eclipse.

Thanks!

Answer 1

In case anyone is still interested, this seems to be an issue with SVNKit 1.3.6 (and the 1.7 betas) and JDK6. I was also having the same issue using my beanstalk svn repo. I think the bug may be related to this report.

Once you look more into it it's apparently a longstanding problem in JDK6 and that type of forced SSL connection from the server, though their solution did not work for me whatsoever (maybe I was totally doing it wrong).

So the "solutions" as it were, are to:
a. Develop with JDK7
b. Just start Eclipse with a 7.0 JVM (-vm parameter, continue developing with JDK6)
c. Go back to SVNKit 1.3.5 (again continue using JDK6)
d. Forget SVNKit altogether and use JavaHL (omg this is a whole new can of worms if you are using 64bit JVM)
e. Try adding that setting in eclipse.ini (I tried for hours... still got the same error trying to use svn repo)

I unfortunately went with option D for now. The rest I tested and all worked as well (cept the last).
