Eclipse error when using Subversive


I am following the instructions here to get the repositories for Head First Android. I have installed Subversive and followed from the steps to get the actual repos.

However, I get an error as under:

SVN: '0x00400006: Validate Repository Location' operation finished with error: Selected SVN connector library is not available or cannot be loaded.
If you selected native JavaHL connector, please check if binaries are available or install and select pure Java Subversion connector from the plug-in connectors update site.
If connectors already installed then you can change the selected one at: Window->Preferences->Team->SVN->SVN Connector.
Selected SVN connector library is not available or cannot be loaded.
If you selected native JavaHL connector, please check if binaries are available or install and select pure Java Subversion connector from the plug-in connectors update site.
If connectors already installed then you can change the selected one at: Window->Preferences->Team->SVN->SVN Connector.  

I read the error message and :

  • I tried If connectors already installed... No, they are not.
  • If you selected native JavaHL connector No, I did not.
  • If connectors already installed then you can change the selected one... Nothing installed so can not change.
  • Can someone tell me how to get this working??


    Solution

  • That means you didn't installed any connectors. so, to install the connectors, follow the steps below.

    In Eclipse, goto help--> Install New Software

    in,install window, enter the below url in work with text field http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/

    then in the below box you'll get list of connectors, select those and click next...

    EDIT:

    The link is an update site for Eclipse 2.0 which is quite old. For Eclipse Luna, this page gives the instructions. Copy this link for the update site if you know the procedure.
