Hi all,
Setup Client:
Windows XP
Eclipse 3.0
Subclipse 0.9.20
Subversion server:
Fedora Core 1
Subversion 1.1 RC4
I taking my first steps into using Subversion (migrating from CVS). As
Eclipse is my favourite IDE, Subversion support is a must. I have thus
downloaded Subclipse and am happy it works fine using http. However, my
prefered setup would be to tunnel it over SSH using the svn+ssh method.
Since it is very simular to CVS over SSH I'd expect it to work alike but
his doesn not seem to be the case. I finaly got it working but I'm not
very pleased with the current solution. It seems there is a SSH client
required and Subclipse expects it to be "ssh.exe" somewhere in the PATH.
When I rename putty.exe to ssh.exe I get a strange error which means a
connection is opened to port 0. I've tried another ssh.exe and that
works now. (Why Putty isn't working is a mistery but not an issue for
this mailing list)
When reading the Subversion book I found out there is a config file in
which tunnels can be set-up. However Subclipse doesn't seem to have such
a config file (or I can't find it). I have to create another kind of
tunnel to allow SSH to access a non-default port on my server (this is
required due to firewall issues at a location I want to access the
server). How can I set up Subclipse to use another executable then
"ssh.exe" and to instruct it to tunnel over another port?
Also when using svn+ssh the username and password field don't seem to be
used. I have to embed the username in the URL like
svn+ssh://username@host/repository_path, but that means the password is
not cached and has to be filled in on every access (in a Command prompt
from the ssh.exe).
What is the CVS plugin using that it does not have these issues and is
there a reason why Subclipse isn't using the same SSH tunnel?
Thanks in advance,
Ronald Vanschoren
