RE: [subversive-dev] subversive with RSE problems.

["Alexander Gurov" <alexander.gurov@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Bill, 

1) In any case the NullPointerException do not looks like something
acceptable. Could you please provide some additional information?
	1) What Subversive version you use?
	2) What connector version is selected at
Window->Preferences->Team->SVN->SVN Client?
	3) Stack trace of the NPE
	4) Step-by-step guide how to reproduce the problem if it is posible

2) Subversive does not handle Subversion meta-information if it is placed
inside a linked folders. So, if you need to make this working in Subversive
you have two alternatives:
	1) Share root project to SVN and use svn:externals property in order
to automatically checkout external resources into the project
	2) Import existing remote project into the Eclipse workspace. In
this case please note that the project should be available on the file
system supported by OS because Subversive uses external libraries in order
to connect with SVN and no one from these libraries have knowledge about
Eclipse virtual file systems.

If my reply is not very helpful please describe situation more precisely.

Best regards,
Alexander Gurov

Subject: [subversive-dev] subversive with RSE problems. 

Hello list,

I've run into a wall with subversive. Its either something I'm doing
incorrectly, or something that can't be done. If it can't be done, consider
this a feature request.  If I just royally screwed up and it is possible, I
apologize and would appreciate being pointed in the correct direction of a
solution.

I'm trying to use subversive to connect a remote project( using rse, the
remote systems explorer plug in) to an existing subversion repository. 
Normally my projects contain a single folder which is linked to a folder on
a remote machine with rse. On the remote system, the project already belongs
to a repository and all of the appropriate .svn directories are there. I've
tried several means of connecting subversive to the project without success.
I've tried putting a .svn folder directly under the project folder on the
local system, to give subversive a clue that it was linked to subversion. It
appeared to work, I can go to Team->share and it does some things that makes
me think its working. However I can't actually perform any actions with
subversion after its finished. An update will complain that the main branch
is missing ( its on the remote system). Trying to compare the files on the
remote system to the last committed versions in the repository doesn't work
(throws a Null Pointer Exception).

I tried creating my project as a remote project, but associating that with
the repository  results in another Null Pointer Exception.

So, basically I'm wondering if its possible to use subversive with rse, and
if not, I think it should.

Thanks for your time,

Bill Newton
