[news.eclipse.technology.subversive] Re: Help needed, cannot set up an S

["Daniel U. Thibault" <daniel.thibault@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   My problem is similar to Marc Chamberlin's, so I thought I would re-start 
this thread.

   I am using Eclipse/Galileo (Version: 3.5.0) under Windows XP Pro (SP3).

   I am trying to reach, as a test case, the SVN repository at 
http://subclipse.tigris.org/svn/subclipse/

   I tried it out using Firefox 3.5, and that worked fine with a user name 
of "guest" and a password of " " (a single blank).

   In Eclipse, I invoked Help: Install New Software... and told it to ork 
with http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/weekly-site/

   I selected Subversive SVN Team Provide Plugin (Incubation) : Subversive 
SVN Team Provider (Incubation) 0.7.8.I20090808-1900 and that installed fine. 
After an Eclipse restart, the SVN plug-in detected the absence of any 
connectors and brought up a list of such.  I chose the latest SVNKit one. 
So far so good.

   Now, in the SVN Repository Exploring perspective, I go to the SVN 
Repositories view and select New Repository Location.  I give it 
http://subclipse.tigris.org/svn/subclipse/ as the URL, and specify User 
"guest" and Password " ".  I checked the Save Password box for good measure. 
I then click Next (since Finish is not available) and wait for a long time 
before a progress dialog appears.  Nothing happens for a further while, and 
then I get an error alert stating:

"Location information has been specified incorrectly.
  svn: Connection reset.
  svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/subclipse"

   What am I doing wrong?
