Eclipse: Svn error : RA layer request failed

If you get this error:

RA layer request failed
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repo/path/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: PROPFIND of '/repo/path/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read status line: connection was closed by server. (http://example.com)

Switch from JavaHL(JNI) to SVNKit(Pure Java) in Eclipse:

1. in eclipse go to Help –> Install New Software…
2. Work with: –> choose the community.polarion.com update site
3. expand Subversive SVN Connectors
4. choose the SVNKit version corresponding with your version of subversion
5. click Next, and then follow the instructions to complete installation
6. Window –> Preferences –> expand "Team" –> select "SVN" –> select the "SVN Connector" tab –> change the SVN Connector to SVNKit –> OK

Eclipse: Subversive compare editor doesn't work with php files

I also had the problem mentioned above:

Whenever I attempt to compare my working file with the one in the repository, I get a blank screen or it hangs with the message "Initializing...". It doesn't work regardless of what perspective I'm in or if I compare with the base revision or the latest from the repository.

I'm using eclipse 3.6.1 with subversive 0.7.9

The Solution was update the pdt eclipse plugin:

There is a bug mentioned here https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=326194 that has a workaround. Apparently it will be fixed in the next release, but you can add the update site http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/2.2/milestones to your eclipse installation and it should fix your compare editor.

Eclipse Subversive Plugin : Checkout operation for '...' failed. Java heap space

The problem is caused by a bug in the SVNKit connector, so the solution is to use the JavaHL connector:

1. in eclipse go to Help –> Install New Software…
2. Work with: –> choose the community.polarion.com update site
3. expand Subversive SVN Connectors
4. choose the JavaHL version corresponding with your version of subversion
5. click Next, and then follow the instructions to complete installation
6. Window –> Preferences –> expand "Team" –> select "SVN" –> select the "SVN Connector" tab –> change the SVN Connector to JavaHL –> OK
