[Subclipse-users] Subclipse Hangs Eclipse Doing New Repository...

Hi,

     I didn't find this in the bugs. I was using Subclipse for the first
time with a repository of the form:

svn+ssh://phoebus/home/phoebus/EVANS/svn/test

     This repository is working. On doing New Repository Location... with
this URL, it gave me a dialog indicating it was in progress. The dialog
stayed up for more than 15 min. Then I pressed the Cancel button on the
dialog. That gave me another dialog and an hourglass. It stayed that way
for another 10 min or so. I did not get a chance to get a screen capture of
the dialogs.

     So, it was hung. Normally, I would have had to kill Eclipse or Java to
get out of it. By chance, I had started Eclipse with java.exe, not
javaw.exe, so I had a (Windows, not Eclipse) console. (I have been
debugging another issue with Eclipse.) The console was obscured, but I
thought I might do a Ctrl-Break and get a stack trace. On making the
console visible, I saw it contained:

The authenticity of host 'phoebus (111.222.333.444)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is ff:ee:dd:cc:bb:aa:99:88:77:66:55:44:33:22:11:00.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

    On saying yes, Eclipse unhung and the new repository action finished (in
spite of the Cancel). (And Subclipse worked OK after that, as well ;-)
This message is a one-time message, so it should work from now on.

     So, this is pretty user unfriendly. If I had been running Javaw as is
normally done, I would have had no idea what the problem was. I assume
Subclipse is exec'ing the ssh command, and that ssh is writing to stdout or
stderr. IMHO what you should be doing is capturing these streams and
sending them to the Eclipse console. And making sure Cancel kills the exec
process.

     There is SSH setup in Eclipse for CVS. I didn't see anything for SVN.
Maybe I missed it.

    Further information:

Windows 2000
Eclipse 3.2
OpenSSH_4.3p2 0.98a 11 Oct 2005
Subclipse 1.1.8

     Thanks,

        -Ken
