Hi Dan,

if you put the below input into one (or if possible more) SVN bug
reports, you are the perfect guy!


Can you at least let me know how to get started,
a link or reference perhaps?  Do I need to create
an account on a Bugzilla somewhere?  Also which
category should I put the whole thing into?

In this way, Igor could track these issues much easier, I guess.

Cheers, Jörg

P.S. Did you give Mylyn a try? 

I guess not...
Could you explain how I can do this?
Links & references on HOWTO?


The link is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/

On the right side, the is the login link. Here you can probably register with your e-mail and password unless you already have a login for the Eclipse site (e.g. wiki). There is only one login, so you can also update the Eclipse wiki and do other stuff if you got the login account.

Now you can report a bug using for Subversive:

Link: Report a new bug
Step 1: go ahead
Step 2: 1. pick: Component from Eclipse web site
        2. pick: Component: Subversive
etc.

Much easier this could be done using Mylyn, which is already packaged with the Eclispe 3.5 / Ganymede.

In the Help menu, select Subversive -> Send Problem Report

Possibly you are asked to setup the Bugzilla connector your self:

Open view Task Repositories
Look for Eclipse Bugzilla, if not present create a new Bugzilla repository by right-clicking.
Select Eclipse from pre-configured drop-down box.
Replace anonymous login by your login credential and press [Validate Settings] to check whether all works fine.

If you sent your first bug using Mylyn, you will also notice, that there is a "Report Bug or Enhancement" entry in Help and in the Error view, an option "Report as bug". All this makes bug reporting from Eclipse (for Eclipse) very fast and simple, it is all based on Mylyn.

For details, see http://www.eclipse.org/Mylyn. Here are some reference to tutorials and other information. You will notice that Mylyn is not only about issue tracking, but also can track your current task context.

Cheers, Jörg

The above structure is defined so that I can have a categorized
structure and can tie together consistent pathnames both for Eclipse
and Svn commands:

  1) Using Eclipse:

     https://my.domain.com/svn/svn{1...N}/...

  2) Using standard SVN server:

     svn <command> PATH <arg>
       where PATH = file:///svn/svn{1...N}/... or
                    https://my.domain.com/svn/svn{1...N}/...



Below are problems I have encountered with Ganymede (SR2) and for
Galileo:

Ganymede (SR2):
===============

Installed:
Subclipse (Required) 1.6.2 Subclipse
Integration for Mylyn 3.x (Optional) 3.0.0 Subversion Client
Adapter (Required) 1.6.0.2 Subversion Revision Graph 1.0.7 SNVKit Client Adapter (Not required) 1.6.2 SVNKit Library 1.3.0.5847

  1) Occasionally, I find that when an error occurs, sometimes
     Ganymede IDE "loses it's bearings", in other words, it no longer
     can read/write to the workspace's .metadata files, requiring an
     Eclipse shutdown and restart, after which the previously saved
     perspective toolbar perspectives are totally lost, with exception
     to the default: Java EE perspective.

  2) As with all cases below, using the fedora-based repository,
     local svn commands works with no failures.  The fedora-based
     repository was tested using a remote Turquoise-SVN client, of
     which it can successfully import, export, create/delete
     directories/files, remove directories/files, and so on.

     This strongly seems to indicates that {at least my}
     Ganymede/Galileo Eclipse IDE is having problems and they seemed to
     "half work", in that check-outs seemed to work but imports,
     commits, check-ins, directory/file removals do not work.

     As mentioned in (3) below these problems may be related to cases
     where no authentication is asked for, nor provided and may have
     missing support or simply broken, I don't know what the problem
     is, only I cannot get this to work with Eclipse.

     I have tried empty (new) workspaces, have blown away .metadata
     directories, checked my home directories to ensure that somehow I
     may have saved repository user/password entries *somewhere* but I
     cannot find it.

  3) Eclipse, SVN Repository Explorer perspective:

     Adding a new repository location does not seem to allow for
     username/password entries where required.  I cannot seem to recall
     if there ever was a user/password interface supported and I
     suspect by in not providing user/password entries, access is
     assumed anonymous and could result in "403 Forbidden" access
     rights?

  4) Eclipse, SVN Repository Explorer perspective:

     a) Create new folder: "Foo" (PASS)

        Right-click over "JSP", select: New->New Remote Folder, type
        in: "Foo", click OK:

        [Console Tab]

        mkdir -m ""
        https://my.domain.com/svn/svn1/trunk/Eclipse/Web/JSP/
Foo
            Committed revision 20.


     b) Delete folder "Foo": (FAIL)

        Right-click over "Foo", select: Delete..., click OK button:

        [Console Tab]

delete -m ""
https://my.domain.com/svn/svn1/trunk/Eclipse/Web/JSP/
Foo
Committed revision 21.
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/svn1/trunk/Eclipse/Web/JSP': 403
Forbidden
(https://my.domain.com)
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/svn1/trunk/Eclipse/Web/JSP': 403
Forbidden
(https://my.domain.com)
NOTE: Although the above error is reported, the file
structure is not updated and all entries under JSP is
empty. Refreshing or double-clicking JSP will show
correctly, and directory; "Foo" is actually removed from
the repository.

  5) Eclipse, Team -> Share fails to import complete application tree:

     a) Eclipse, Java EE perspective:

        Right-click on WebApp1, select: Team->Share Project..., select:
        SVN, click: Next, select repository, click: Next, click: 'Use
        specified folder name', click 'select', expand tree and click
        on "trunk/Eclipse/Web/JSP", click: OK, click: 'Next', click:
        'Finish', and errors results:

        [Console Tab]

            {there is nothing before the following line} svn: URL
            'https://my.domain.com/svn/svn1/trunk/Eclipse/Web/JSP/
WebApp1' non-existent in that revision
            svn: URL
            'https://my.domain.com/svn/svn1/trunk/Eclipse/Web/JSP/
WebApp1' non-existent in that revision
        mkdir --parents -m "Initial import." https://my.domain.com/svn/
svn1/trunk/Eclipse/Web/JSP/WebApp1
            Committed revision 22.
        checkout https://my.domain.com/svn/svn1/trunk/Eclipse/Web/JSP/
WebApp1 -r HEAD --depth=immediates --force
            Checked out revision 23.

    NOTE: When you look in the SVN Repository Explorer perspective,
          you may find that indeed there is a WebApp1 subdirectory,
          however, the contents of WebApp1 is EMPTY. Somehow, the
          directories and files failed to be added/committed to the
          repository.

          I also noted, that in the SVN Perspective Explorer, if you do
          not refresh the "WebApp1" directory, deleting this directory
          results in the "403 Forbidden" error (even though it actually
          deletes the directory), likewise, if you do refresh the
          directory, deleting this directory does not produce the "403
          Forbidden" error.  Perhaps, syncing is prevented due to
          errors just before the next subsequent operation.

NOTE: Although not comprehensively shown here, using the
      SVN Perspective Explorer, any attempts to move directories and
      files around do not work well at all and 403 Forbidden errors
      crop up.

        [An error message appears on the left-pane, tree of "JSP"] <An
        error occurred while accessing the repository entry>

         The above error is quite a problem, because depending on where
         this directory was added, it is found that refreshing the tree
         may refuse to display the rest of the directories and files
         from which this new directory was added.  I have found that
         moving Foo to a directory above, and then moving directory
         back down to its original entry caused the entire structure
         under "Web" to disappear and I was not able to access this
         structure since I could not refresh, close, open, expand, or
         otherwise force displaying the tree structure.

        *** Ok (took 00:00.673)

        NOTE: The subdirectory was created, but there is nothing
              to explain why there was an error accessing the
              repository and what it's implications are.

     b) Delete folder "Foo": (PASS)

        Right-click over "Foo", select: Delete..., click OK button:

        [Console Tab]

*** Delete

        SVN, click: Next, select repository, click: Next, click:
        'Simple Mode:', click: 'Browse' button, expand tree and click
        on "trunk/Eclipse/Web/JSP", click: OK, Type in missing project
        name (WebApp1), click: 'Next', click: 'Finish', and errors
        results:

        NOTE: The comment field shows incorrect path information
              that was typed/added in the previous dialog box.

Well, I am going to stop here.  Clearly there is a LOT of problems with
Eclipse SVN and I surely hope these problems will be resolved.

As it is, I will only use Eclipse SVN for checking out projects, but
not for checking in, adding/creating/importing/moving things around
simply because I do not trust Eclipse SVN at this time.

FWIW,
Dan
