Hoss -- Thanks for prior replies; now back to this one.
Context: I am trying to work with 2.2.0 (as mentioned), but when I got the downloads (src and class-jar), they did not inclde something called "highlighter" that it now turns out I need. So ... >: the "anonymous" SVN (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk/) >: does not work for me (I am using Eclipse 3.3, and have the subversion >plug-in, v. >: 1.2.4, and have successfully checked out code using SVN from other >repositories). >: Apparently here I need a user-id and pwd -- what is that or where do I get >one? > >i'm not sure why you would be having problems with that ... i can't speak >for Eclipse, but I just double checked and it's definitely allowing >anonymous checkout from the command line. can you try that and see if it >works for you? (perhaps it's an issue with the server running subversion >1.5 and your plugin only working with 1.4 ?) > OK, I tried again, and this time no-code asked for a user-id/pwd, and I could see the whole repository-tree (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk/...); but ... when I tried to check out the "highlighter" project, Eclipse sent me into a "quasi-infinite" loop (described below to help others avoid this mess, not b/c I think there's anything wrong with the Lucene repository). This way seems to work: 1) drill down and select "highlighter" (the page http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_0/lucene-sandbox/index.html has a link that takes me directly to that level of the tree, i.e., to http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk/contrib/highlighter/); 2) ask Eclipse to check out the "highlighter" 3) Eclipse presents me with a dialog (I'd attach a PNG of a screen shot of it, but some newsgroups reject attachments -- are they allowed here?), that asks whether I want to check it out as a project ("Using the New Project Wizard") or into a project in the workspace (which sounds like it means an *existing* project); 4) after I aborted the quasi-inf-loop (below), I just selected the "check out as project in the workspace" and accepted the default name ("highlighter"). 5) ta-da: actual code! (As for command-line checkout: I am pretty well an idiot about command-lines; no clue at all what the syntax would be ...) thanks, Paul <quasi-inf-loop> 1) drill down and select "highlighter" (the page http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_0/lucene-sandbox/index.html has a link that takes me directly to that level of the tree, i.e., to http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk/contrib/highlighter/); 2) ask Eclipse to check out the "highlighter" ... 3) Eclipse presents me with a dialog (I'd attach a PNG of a screen shot of it, but some newsgroups reject attachments -- are they allowed here?), that asks whether I want to check it out as a project ("Using the New Project Wizard") or into a project in the workspace (which sounds like it means an *existing* project); 4) I pick "new project" (since I have no existing project that would make sense as a home for it -- I want to compile "highlighter" against the existing lucene jar that I have); 5) Eclipse presents me with another dialog (ditto on screen shot) that asks me to select a wizard (a bit odd, this, since I thought I already did), and I select the obvious choice "Checkout projects from SVN"; 6) then in the next page of that dialog I am asked to select a repository (ok, getting weirder -- surely I have selected a repository!?) -- I do so; 7) then in the next page of that dialog I am asked to select a project (ummm...) so I drill down to /lucene/java/trunk/contrib/highlighter; 8) I click "Next" and find myself back at step 3 ... (this repeats as often as one wants to bother). </quasi-inf-loop> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
