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

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   -

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
