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?
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.
It worked for me, In eclipse: Window > Preference > Team > SVN: select SVNKit (Pure Java) instead JavaHL(JNI)
At my day job I sit behind a corporate firewall protecting and caching web traffic (among other things). For the most part it stays out of the way. But sometimes it rears its ugly head and stands firmly in the path of what I am trying to do.
Earlier this week I was trying to look at a cool new general validation system for ColdFusion called Validat, put out by the great guys at Alagad. They don't have a download on the RIAForge site yet, but the files are available via SVN. I loaded up the subclipse plugin into my Eclipse, restarted and began adding the Validat SVN repository. I started getting errors abou the "RA layer request failed" and "svn: PROPFIND request failed on /Validat/trunk", followed by an error about not being able to connect to the SVN server.
I already had Eclipse setup with my proxy settings, so I thought I was doing something wrong or Alagad didn't actually have the subversion repository up-and-available. After going home that night, I tried it from home and wa-la it worked. Stupid proxy server! So the subclipse plugin won't use the Eclipse proxy settings. (Can that be fixed please!). After digging around the subclipse help site and being redirected to the collab.net help, then unproductively searching through the eclipse workspace, plugins, and configuration folders for the settings file, I was finally able to figure out how to set up subclipse to use the proxy server.
In my Windows development environment, I opened the following file: C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserId\Application Data\Subversion\servers in my favorite text editor. Near the bottom of that file is a [global] section with http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port settings. I uncommented those two lines, modified them for my corporate proxy server, went back to the SVN Repository view in Eclipse, refreshed the Validat repository and Boom! it worked!
from http://www.mkville.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/11/8/Using-Subclipse-Behind-a-Proxy-Server
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do you have any working repositories in this instance of eclipse?
I've had problems in the past with the default Subclipse subversion client on Windows, you need to make sure the native subversion client is installed and correctly configured (I've got TortoiseSVN to work in the past) if you want to use the default client adapter.
On a recent install I tried the "beta" drivers (I have Eclipse Ganymede and "SVNKit (Pure Java) SVNKit v1.2.0.4502") that you can optionally install with Subclipse and they worked pretty much straight out of the box, although a colleague found he had to go through a few hoops to make sure Eclipse installed them (and their dependancies) correctly.
Here are the packages that appear in "Help" -> "Software Updates" -> "Installed Software":
Subclipse 1.4.0
Subversion Client Adapter 1.5.0.1
SVNKit Client Adapter 1.5.0.1
SVNKit Library 1.2.0.4502
These are probably a little out of date now, and the latest version will probably work better, but this is what I can see working right now.
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.
I has the same problem. McAFee had blocked the eclipse. solve it in the manager McAFee> Firewall> progamas internet connection to> find the eclipse and allow full access.
regards
I was facing this problem and, as mentioned previously here, I changed the "servers" file under Subversion folder in "C:\Users\userid\AppData\Roaming\Subversion". There, in the file's bottom, there is a [global] section. I removed the comments from
http-proxy-host
http-proxy-port
http-proxy-username
http-proxy-password
I set those guys and it worked! :-)
I saw the same error and solved by switching off the proxy settings in TortoiseSVN that I normally need for commits to the company servers. I installed Subclipse to back up my own non-prime-time stuff to a local repository (using VisualSVN). I use Eclipse Galileo 3.3 and Subclipse 1.6.12.
Necropost, but helpful: I came across this problem with an RA request failed since the files "already existed on the server" but wouldn't sync with my repository. I went to the source on my disk, deleted there, refreshed my Eclipse view, and updated the source. Error gone.
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
You might want to check if the websecurity of vpn client is the issue. I uninstalled it and it worked fine..Found the solution here
https://superuser.com/questions/471089/svn-connection-not-successful
I have exactly the same issue with you. I have TortoiseSVN installed on my windows, I have also eclipse installed, in the eclipse, I have the subclipse 1.4 installed.
here is the issue
I have proxy settings, I can open the repo through web browser, for some reason, I cannot open a repo through svn. I tried to change the proxy following the link below Eclipse Kepler not connecting to internet via proxy. It doesn't work.
Finally I found out a solution
You have to change the proxy setting in TortoiseSVN. After I enable the proxy setting the same with my browser. The issue is gone.
here is the link of how to enable proxy setting in TortoiseSVN
https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-settings.html
Seach "Network Settings" on the page above
In my case, im getting the similar exception when trying to checkout the project from SVN repo it is prompting for the username and password and i was giving the wrong username every time, when i gave the correct username and password its started working fine.....
Such a simple and Hardstopping message.....

I have installed a virtual box with Windows 10, Eclipse Mars, Subversive Plugin, SVNKit 1.8.11 and tried to set up some repositories in a configuration I already did successfully in several other environments. The SVN server is a Debian 7 system with Subversion 1.6.17. The following problem occurs only since I set up the above mentioned system:
Check-out: e. g. SVN-Repositories -> expand Repository X -> right-click on trunk -> check-out -> Error occurs: "Checkout operation for 'svn://host/X/trunk' failed. svn: E200030: There are unfinished transactions detected in 'C:\PathToWorkspace\X'"
After this the Subversive plugin stops working, apparently.
Export: same result as check-out
Further investigation got me to a specific file in the repository, which fails loading with "invalid handle" error. It is not in a "strange" path (not too long, no spaces or special characters) and the file itself contains no suspicious characters, just Unix line breaks. Permissions and space on disk are OK. Other respositories with the same properties DO work as expected.
I found posts with similar problems, but none of them applied to mine, apparently. They told me to wipe my workspace directory (which I did), but I just lost all of my settings without solving the problem. After this, I investigated the program directory of Eclipse, whicht didn't bring any more success.
Additionally, the ".svn\wc.db" file is still locked after the failure. Deleting the repository is therefore not possible until closing Eclipse. The directory is not listed in any project list/tree in eclipse like the package explorer, but the directory exists on the disk.
The same repository X still works in every of the other configurations I have. How can I reset these "transactions" in order to repair this? I really would like to avoid completely reinstalling Eclipse or even Windows.
EDIT
I istalled TortoiseSVN 1.16.16.21511 (x64), which perfectly fits to the SVN service version. Same problem.
First, try:
Right-click the project -> Team -> Cleanup.
If that didn't help:
Restart Eclipse -> Team -> Cleanup
I got the same error in my case but in different situation, I was working on the shared folder using both Eclipse and Tortoise SVN, and Eclipse was not able to clean up or do any commit, so I tried to close Eclipse and do clean up from outside using tortoise. it worked.
I finally got it: creating the files "con.cpp" and "con.h" from the project had apparently been rejected by Windows. As far as I remember, "con" is kind of a reserved command or sub command in Windows. Renaming it to something else right in the repository solved the problem.
When you are performing any team operations in eclipse ( such as
commit, update, replace ) and if you cancel the operation in between.
The files involved in the operation are locked.
This is one of the possibilities for the error to appear.
To resolve this in Eclipse.
Right Click on the project -> Team -> Cleanup
If the above process doesn't work
Restart eclipse -> Right Click on the project -> Team -> Cleanup
If this didn't resolve the issue.
Remove these locks explicitly.
Ubuntu
Install svn if you haven't installed.
sudo apt-get install subversion
Then clean the project folder.
svn cleanup /path/to/working-copy
Windows
Get Tortise SVN from this link.
After installing, Right-click on the project folder which is linked to SVN.
There will be an option do SVN cleanup. Click on it. It takes some time to clean up.
Then you are good to go.
This solution worked for me.
i had an error also on the command 'cleanup' on a project, and restarting the eclipse didn't solve.
i had to disconnect the project from svn and re-connect later
I had the same issue, unfortunately, the issue with the device storage running out of memory.
Free up the memory and able to proceed further from the mentioned issue
I have Eclipse Luna with Subversive, and I had two problems to syncronize with the Repository in a Server, E170001 and E20030 (sometines one and sometimes both). My solution was:
1.- In Eclipse: go to to "Window" - "Preferences".
2.- Go to "General" - "Network Connections".
Down, at Proxy Bypass, add de IP of the server where you has the Repository of SVN.
At work we use Adobe Coldfusion Builder and got no problem installing plugins like MercurialEclipse. But at home I would like to use Eclipse itself, but am running into many many problems. When I try to contact http://cbes.javaforge.com/update it just says "Unable to read repository at http://cbes.javaforge.com/update/content.jar. Installing updates result in an endless ...pending...
What is going wrong here? I thought it would be the firewall. Turned it off, no succes. Tried reading all the articles about this problem, could not find my solution there as well.
Hopefully someone can pinpoint me to the right direction.
Thanx!!

Are you using a different version of Eclipse? Try opening the transfers tab before you update and seeing if it's blocking on something like downloading content.jar. If so, the problem is that the repository only supports classic update sites, while Eclipse is only using p2.
As to solving it... I noticed this wasn't working on very recent builds of Eclipse. According to docs, classic is still supposed to be supported. I don't know if this is a change in behavior or a bug. Workarounds would probably be using an older Eclipse, switching to classic updates in Preferences, General/Capabilities, or possibly placing the plugin's zip in the eclipse dropins folder (eclipse/dropins).
I haven't tried these, but the Preferences seems most likely.
I'm using Eclipse 3.7 build I20110526-1708.
Edited
Yeah, you can tell that it's a p2 problem: http://cbes.javaforge.com/update/content.jar is a 404, while http://cbes.javaforge.com/update/site.xml works fine. site.xml is the classic update mechanism.
According to the wiki:
However, users will rarely have a need for enabling Update Manager, because p2 is able to install from any update site that was designed for Update Manager.
I just tried this out myself, and can verify the Capabilites workaround works: After enabling it, go to Help>Software Updates>Find and Install. Click Search for new Features to install, and add your site as a remote site.
It should successfully find the provided features.
As listed on the wiki, this is a workaround, and shouldn't normally be used. I'm not sure why it's necessary; I couldn't find information about it myself.
As for the dropins dir, I made a mistake: it should be a jar file, not a zip. The plugin's jar, which can be found by looking through the site.xml file. This is probably a worse workaround than the first, though.
It may be proxy related issue. Go to network connections preference page and in active provider select manual. Then select HTTP, click on edit and then provide the necessary details. Do the same for HTTPS also in the preference page. Then close the preference page and try again. It should work.
I see this when digging into the error logs of Eclipse - I keep getting an error:
An internal error occurred during:
"Updating Change Sets for
SVNStatusSubscriber"
It happens a few times when trying to update or commit, and eventually hoses my local copy of SVN, and I'm forced to rebuild it.
Has anyone every encountered either of these or have any thoughts on fixing? It's a huge annoyance to have to rebuild SVN each time. I'm using Subclipse with Helios. Also I'm connected via FUSE/SSHfs to the project on a VM.
Did samba fix it? Have you tried using different client implementations?
Okay, so this is still not 100% certain, but it would appear that what's happened is that the date goes out of sync on the VM on occassion. During svn updates or commits, this causes inconsistent synchronization data and the client in Eclipse, confused, ends up throwing errors.
Because the errors cause an abort of the update or commit process, this leaves the repository in a very unstable state, my guess is that it tries to retrieve a name of a file but gets back null, and ends up writing this back to the .svn/entries somehow.
As I said I can't confirm that this is the only thing causing the problems, but it makes sense as after my clock went out of sync, pretty much all of svn was broken on the next svn up call.
Hey so I had a similar issue, and this seems to have fixed the problem (keeping my fingures crossed that it stays fixed.)
right click on the project to open the options then set Team->Refresh/Cleanup. I am using a local repository so not sure if this will help you.
This is rather old however it has been viewed thousands of times which makes me feel that it's still a relevant issue. I arrived on this page because I had the same question.
The steps to fix the issue are
Ensure that you have an SVN client actually installed. (ex. if you are using Catalina make sure Catalina is actually installed)
If you are using extra tools on top of your SVN client such as TortoiseSVN ensure that it's installed. Most tools have co-dependencies to the official SVN release. (ex. TortoiseSVN versions closely match SVN versions)
Check if SubEclipse is installed (Help > Eclipse Marketplace > Type: subeclipse). When you update your SVN client SubEclipse needs to catch up. If you see the Install button available click it, most likely it will update SubEclipse to look at the right SVN client
If you get a Working-Copy error go to the actual folders in question through your OS and right click on the folders and choose "SVN Update"
If you are still having an issue in Eclipse choose your project(s) and right click > Team > Refresh/Cleanup. Then right click > Team > Synchronize with Repository
Hopefully one of the 5 steps will resolve your issue. In my case I had to do all 5.
As a solution to this problem, uninstall the svn client from eclipse. Go to Help -> about -> installation details -> select all subclipse plugins and click uninstall. After this install Subclipse from using subclipse update site. Don't forget to restart eclipse / STS whenever asked to do so.
Doing so solved my this problem. Hope this helps in your case as well.
I had the same problem, after creating some new classes. I've fixed it after synchronizing with repository of the parent package. the svn error "Updating Change Sets for SVNStatusSubscriber" disappered.
Changing the SVN client from eclipse with restart or start eclipse with "-clean" option didn't work for me.
My observation is that commonly the SVN commit fails, when there is a collision in XML files. SVN is not correctly reporting and updating XMLs. I had to delete (move the res folder to a temporary folder outside project) the entire folder, commit, restore the folder and commit again. I have not tried, but I think automatic build for Eclipse should be disabled before taking update. However you can get the version updates from team-->history, from there you can extract the updates to a folder, to compare the updates are done properly.
I installed the RSE plugin in Eclipse intending to either use SSH or FTP to work with files on a remote machine. I set up both an SSH and FTP connection, but neither works.
For example, here is what happens when I connect using FTP:
As you can see, the directories on the server show up, but I can't do anything with them. No sub-folders are showing up and none of the files can be opened.
I'm completely new to Eclipse, (though certainly not new to working with FTP) so I really don't know what to do to get this working.
Also, is there any way to use this with the PHP perspective at all?
First, make sure you are using the latest update site for RSE. In Eclipse, go to Preferences >> Install/Update >> Available Software Sites and check that the update site for RSE is listed correctly and it is enabled. You can learn the latest update site from the Target Management Home Page (look for an update site link next to the latest release announcement).
Once you do that, you must also have the RSE Core plugin enabled in addition to SSH or FTP services. In Eclipse, go to Help >> Install New Software. Expand the TM and RSE Uncategorized category and install the RSE Core plugin.
You should now see sub-folders, and have more options on the remote folder right-click menu. You can, for example create a remote project or import remote folders into your current project.
Your problem might be associated with the "Show files only" checkbox. In the Remote Systems perspective right-click on "Sftp Files" and try to create a new connection. In the "File Filter" dialog window make sure the "Show files only" checkbox is not checked.
I'm using Eclipse PHP Development Tools. What would be the easiest way to access a file or maybe create a remote project trough FTP and maybe SSH and SFTP?.
Eclipse natively supports FTP and SSH. Aptana is not necessary.
Native FTP and SSH support in Eclipse is in the "Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime" Plugin.
Install it through Eclipse itself. These instructions may vary slightly with your version of Eclipse:
Go to 'Help' -> 'Install New Software' (in older Eclipses, this is called something a bit different)
In the 'Work with:' drop-down, select your version's plugin release site. Example: for Kepler, this is Kepler - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler
In the filter field, type 'remote'.
Check the box next to 'Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime'
Click 'Next', and accept the terms. It should now download and install.
After install, Eclipse may want to restart.
Using it, in Eclipse:
Window -> Open Perspective -> (perhaps select 'Other') -> Remote System Explorer
File -> New -> Other -> Remote System Explorer (folder) -> Connection (or type Connection into the filter field)
Choose FTP from the 'Select Remote System Type' panel.
Fill in your FTP host info in the next panel (username and password come later).
In the Remote Systems panel, right-click the hostname and click 'connect'.
Enter username + password and you're good!
Well, not exactly 'good'. The RSE system is fairly unusual, but you're connected.
And you're one smart cookie! You'll figure out the rest.
Edit: To change the default port, follow the instructions on this page: http://ikool.wordpress.com/2008/07/25/tips-to-access-ftpssh-on-different-ports-using-eclipse-rse/
Install Aptana plugin to your Eclipse installation.
It has built-in FTP support, and it works excellently.
You can:
Edit files directly from the FTP server
Perform file/folder management (copy, delete, move, rename, etc.)
Upload/download files to/from FTP server
Synchronize local files with FTP server. You can make several profiles (actually projects) for this so you won't have to reinput over and over again.
As a matter of fact the FTP support is so good I'm using Aptana (or Eclipse + Aptana) now for all my FTP needs. Plus I get syntax highlighting/whatever coding support there is. Granted, Eclipse is not the speediest app to launch, but it doesn't bug me so much.
have you checked RSE (Remote System Explorer) ? I think it's pretty close to what you want to achieve.
a blog post about it, with screenshots
I'm not sure if this works for you, but when I do small solo PHP projects with Eclipse, the first thing I set up is an Ant script for deploying the project to a remote testing environment. I code away locally, and whenever I want to test it, I just hit the shortcut which updates the remote site.
Eclipse has good Ant support out of the box, and the scripts aren't hard to make.
SFTP Plug-in:
http://www.jcraft.com/eclipse-sftp/
:)
As none of the other solutions mentioned satisfied me, I wrote a script that uses WinSCP to sync local directories in a project to a FTP(S)/SFTP/SCP Server when eclipse's autobuild feature is triggered. Obviously, this is a Windows-only solution.
Maybe someone finds this useful:
