Using SVN in eclipse on Mac OS X

Mon, 03 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000

After upgrading subversion client my eclipse could not find javahl bindings any more, because i previously installed the CollabNet ones, which are currently available for subversion 1.6.x only. The bad thing about this is Subclipse does not work any more, until you’ll install these libraries using the following solutions.

There may be one for macports as well, but i’m using homebrew and nothing else any more :-)

Installing through homebrew is not as easy as installing through macports because they are not available as single package, but you can add a --java option to the homebrew command to build required javahlbinding together with subversion. This will show up the following warning, because you should use a universal build.

Tell svn client to use a proxy-server

If you have or your server has to use a proxy server to access the internet you may have problems with your svn client although you aready set your http_proxy environment variable(s).

The solution to tell svn to use a proxy server is editing the ~/.subversion/servers file in your home directory and add the following lines or uncomment them, if they are already written into it:

[global]
# http-proxy-exceptions = *.exception.com, www.internal-site.org
http-proxy-host = my.proxy.server
http-proxy-port = 8080
# http-proxy-username = defaultusername
# http-proxy-password = defaultpassword
# http-compression = no
# http-auth-types = basic;digest;negotiate
# No http-timeout, so just use the builtin default.
# No neon-debug-mask, so neon debugging is disabled.
# ssl-authority-files = /path/to/CAcert.pem;/path/to/CAcert2.pem
