I then right clicked and said New->Project and selected SVN. In the Client field, I selected SVNKit (Pure Java). Part way down the screen, there's a SVN Interface entry. From there, I chose, Team, and under Team, SVN.

I then restarted Eclipse, and went to Eclipse->Preferences. Okay, I downloaded Eclipse on my Mac, and then installed under Help->Install New Software., the CollabNet Desktop (), Subclipse ( ) and SVNKit (). I installed SVNKit in Eclipse, but how do I 'use' it within Eclipse? When I open the Preferences -> SVN dialog, there is no 'SVNKit' checkbox, only a 'JavaHL: Commit across multiple projects automatically' checkbox, which is checked. I can checkout fine from the command line, so yes, I believe the problem is with Eclipse. It has everything you need, and has a much better merge client than the standard Eclipse merge client. I also recommend you look at CollabNet Desktop Edition. See ColabNet JavaHL page for more information. This is especially good to know if you're using a Mac because Apple doesn't provide the Subversion API libraries. Instead, I use SVNKit which is a pure Java solution, and doesn't require the Subversion C API. I've had issues with Java HL in the past because it requires the Subversion C API. What do you mean by that?Ĭan you checkout from the repository using the Subversion command line? If so, the issue is with Eclipse and the Subversion client. You said you gave it a user and password I entered a username and password when I setup the repo. There's a difference between setting up a repository (which uses svnadmin create) and creating a working directory (which you do via Subversion's command line client - svn co or via Ecilpse's built in Subversion client.
