Thanks. The MT kb article is pretty incomplete and this was pretty helpful.

one important note: when copying/pasting public key to the file be sure to get rid of any new lines – I used nano (over ssh) to edit “authorized_keys” and I when pasted public key copied directly from PuTTyGen there were three lines of text (probably something with new line symbol differences between Windows and Unix – in Notepad there was only one line) and when I left it like that I couldn’t connect to repository

Alexei,
Thanks for the heads up, we appreciate you keeping us posted on the issue.

The described problem was reviewed and probably a fix for it was found. It would be available in the next version of Eclipse Subversive.

To access the repository you should specify only % in username, not %25.

Best regards, Alexei Goncharov (Subversive team).

Doh… well I’m glad it’s working. I hope it doesn’t break again. If it does you can try troubleshooting using some of the tips I mentioned, it might help get things narrowed down.

Eclipse can become a crowded/confused place and does not avoid the “DLL Hell” phenomenon that any large complex system suffers from unfortunately

Well, last night I figured to go for a complete re-install of Eclipse. Downloaded the same packages (for all I know at least) but somehow it works now:D

Marijn,
The Eclipse Update Mechanism has been one of the most-complained about designs and features of the Eclipse platform since it’s inception.

Software vendors that build products ontop of the platform (forget the users) find the mechanism almost completely unusable in some pretty normal update cases. Unfortunately the group working on that aspect of Eclipse think it’s just fine which is why it hasn’t fundamentally changed it’s design since Eclipse 2 I think.

As far as that error goes, if you are able to see it *that* quickly by simply trying to connect to a Repo, I guess you can’t be alone… have you tried searching the Subversive group?

Unfortunately I don’t use Subversive so my ability to help with it is diminished.

You might also make sure (Help > Software Updates > Manage Config) that the Subversive plugin is installed correctly and isn’t missing some plugin dependency or something. You will also want to make sure you installed a version of Subversive that is compatible with your release of Eclipse.

The exact error:

Subversive: ‘0×00400006: Validate Repository Location’ operation finished with error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

By: Marijn

Marijn — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 15:29:50 +0000

The plug-in will load but when I try to connect to my repo it pops up a send-error-feedback screen saying some class definition was not found for validating the repository location…

I really love Eclipse as an editor but getting stuff to just work, especially “out of the box”, is just terrible. The whole software-update/managing should really get a lot more attention.

If you would like more info let me know.

Marijn,
They are both surprisingly crappy…

What are you doing when you get the NoClassDef error? Or do you get it and the plugin won’t even load?

By: Marijn

Marijn — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 02:02:37 +0000

Subversive hasn’t given me anything but trouble until now. Currently I am getting a no class def error for repository location validation. Google does not have an answer yet… Anybody here with that same problem? Would be really glad to find an answer since I kind of dislike subclipse…

Thanks Marijn

Greg,
I don’t use Subversive so I’m not sure how to get it working, but I use Subclipse regularly with it and it works fine with the instructions above (as long as they are)

Which part were you getting stuck on?

By: Greg

Greg — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 19:15:15 +0000

How about witting up instructions for using the subversive plug-in. I could not get it up and running either.

Daniel — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:55:33 +0000

I tried Subclipse too with no success. I probably didn’t set something up correctly, so I’ll revisit that software sometime in the future. The hunt continues!

Daniel,
Try using Subclipse in the mean time until Subversive gets it’s svn+ssh support fixed up.

I tried checking Eclipse’s bug tracker to see if it was a known bug and didn’t find anything… although I’m not sure if subversive is officially an Eclipse project or if it’s still in incubator.

@Daniel

Very odd, we should probably file a bug with Subversive, try to get them to fix it.

To their credit, this is a really strange SSH username formatting and I don’t really blame them for not supporting it (yet).

By: Daniel

Daniel — Tue, 29 May 2007 15:57:17 +0000

Riyad, nope. Both svn+ssh://user@domain.com/path/to/repo and svn+ssh://user@domain.com@domain.com/path/to/repo do not work.

I’m going to throw myself off a cliff now.

Daniel,
Does it work if you change it back to @?

By: Daniel

Daniel — Fri, 25 May 2007 05:11:07 +0000

I tried Daniel’s idea, and it didn’t work. I keep getting a “illegal hex character ‘a’ after %” sort of error. Subversive doesn’t like the % in the name.
