Re: adding a new repository to eclipse?

The Subclipse integration follows the same model as the CVS integration.
When you define a repository within Eclipse, you are defining a connection
to an existing repository, not creating one. You need to do that using
svnadmin create ...

I would suggest defining an anonymous connection to one of the public SVN
repositories, such as the one for Subversion itself, or Subclipse. This
will let you know the plugin is working properly.

Then it should just be a matter of creating your own repository and
defining your connection to it in Eclipse.

I have recently installed subversion for the first time. I installed
subersion 1.0.0 on windows XP, using the standard installation file.

I then installed subclipse 0.9.0 by extracting it into the parent
directory of eclipse 3.0 M7.

When I restarted eclipse, the SVN Repository showed up, so I decided to
try and create a new repository location.

In the 'Add SVN Repository' dialog, I tried typing
'file:///subersion/repo', which results in the error:

Error validating location: "org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException:
Couldn't open a repository
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///subversion/repository'
"
Keep location anyway? Y / N

So, next I tried running 'svnadmin create c:\subversion\repository' from
the command line and this completed successfully.

Now, if I try to repeat adding the same repository in eclipse, I get the
message 'The specified repository location already exists'.

Can someone please shed some light on what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,
