Our sysadmin created a SVN server on our Ubuntu server and I connect Eclipse to it using: svn+ssh://myuser#111.111.111.111/home/svn/myrepo/trunk but I now want to use Tortoise on my Windows7 machine to connect and I just cannot get it to work.
I right-click on an empty folder TortoiseSVN>Repo-browser and I am prompted to supply a URL. Before anybody recommends it, I did try svn+ssh://myuser#111.111.111.111/home/svn/myrepo/trunk but nothing! It says "Unable to open connection"
Can I even connect TortoiseSVN?
Have you installed all the SSH dependencies for Tortoise to use SVN over SSH? If not have a peek at the tortoise SVN faq section on how to do it specifically the section entitled SSH Client Tools for use with TortoiseSVN.

I'm on windows machine and using Eclipse to edit some files on UNIX remote. I use Remote System Explorer to browse files over SSH which works superb (comparing with N++ explorer it's a rocket). Now the UNIX files are under ClearCase versioning and I'd like to have some "right click" options in Eclipse's Remote System Explorer, associated with some unix commands (in my case will be ClearCase commands).
Should I start learning to make a simple plugin for this?
Note: There are some ClearCase readily available plugins but all of them requires ClearCase client to be installed on windows machine (which I did) but our admins doesn't allow the windows clients to access version database for security purposes :)
So now I use putty console (Eclipse console) to check in/out files then edit them with Eclipse. Any chance to do'it once like I explain above?
Thanks in advance,
No plugin possible, because ClearCase commands through an Eclipse plugin would be executed on your local machine, and not in the ssh session.
Those cleartool commands (checkout/checkin) must be executed where the view is started (ie on the unix remote server, where the ssh session is)
Our internal svn repository's URI looks like svn+ssh://svn/hogehoge/svnroot/. Using subclipse on eclipse that is run from a terminal, eclipse freezes when I try to access repository and never return. I found on terminal ssh password is asked but looks like it's just printed there and doesn't accept my input (password I enter is interpreted as command on terminal). Any idea is appreciated.
Environment:
Ubuntu 10.04
Eclipse Indigo SP2
Subclipse (Required) 1.6.18
Subversion Client Adapter (Required) 1.6.12
Subversion JavaHL Native Library Adapter (Required) 1.6.17
I would recommend you install SVNKit and change to using it instead of JavaHL. SVNKit includes a pure Java SSH client so it is able to provide a GUI prompt within Eclipse. There are two alternatives if you want to use JavaHL:
Start Eclipse from a Terminal window. SSH prompts will then appear within that window.
Run ssh-agent. Your SSH client will then fetch the keys from ssh-agent and will not need the terminal prompt.
Usually users are already using ssh-agent, in which case I would recommend just using JavaHL. Since you are apparently not using it, I would suggest to just use SVNKit.
I'm running Eclipse Indigo on Windows XP & Cygwin using the Subclipse plugin with our corporation SVN repository.
Overall it works just fine, however whenever I click on a file in the remote SVN repository a half dozen cmd windows open for the various ssh processes Subclipse spawns using Cygwin's ssh executable. This is very annoying since they pop up directly in front of what I'm working on and steal the cursor focus.
Could anyone tell me how I can insure that when these windows are spawned they're minimized so that they don't interfere?
The best way to do this is to use a GUI SSH client like TortoisePlink which comes with TortoiseSVN. I believe the other option would be to start Eclipse from your Cygwin Terminal. I believe the SSH client will then be connected with that Terminal and not spawn any additional windows.
my project source code is in unix, we are using CM synergy source control for code checkin/chech out files. we update the files using vi editor. Pls help in how to set up eclipse in windows system and then connect to the code server and edit the files.
You could install the Remote System Explorer framework, that allows opening files from a remote server, and also gives shell access to the remote server. For anything more specific, I'm not sure whether a free solution exists.
I experienced some problems accessing remote file systems with the Remote System Explorer Plugin, the FTP session was closed unexpectedly. I recommend for linking in your local projects remote sites Aptana Eclipse Plugin.
Hey, I am using Eclipse (while running Ubuntu 10.10) and would like to connect to a remote git. Normally I would use the egit plugin, but now I need to connect over ssh with keyfile.
Unfortunately egit has no "with keyfile" option, is there a way to connect to my repository with my keyfile?
Is there a "hidden" way to make Eclipse to pass parameters (-i keyfile) to ssh or something?
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide/Remote - I had to manually load my existing key in the "Key Management" tab.
I don't know anything about egit. But what you usually do is:
Start ssh-agent (mine is automatically started, when my window manager starts, so you have to google a bit how to setup it)
Run ssh-add [your key]
Use git over ssh as usual. It won't ask you for any passwords, since ssh-agent takes care of it.
