Inspired by river’s addition of PostgreSQL support, I was gonna make a few quick changes to mwdumper. I figured I’d get Eclipse and the Subclipse SVN plugin set up on my 64-bit Linux workstation so I’d have a decent Java IDE to work on it in.
Well… no.
Neither with the version of Eclipse that ships with Ubuntu Feisty, nor with a fresh copy of it from eclipse.org… when I try to check out from SVN, and get to the final stage, it just… stops. No error message, no explanation. Just the wizard’s done and I’ve got no project.
I… hate… computers.
Update: Mark Phippard explained the secret in a comment — you can check out a project from the SVN Repository browse view, and it works! Thanks, Mark!
You are probably running into this bug which was recently reported: http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=606
You can work around this problem by opening the SVN Repository View and doing the checkout from there. Just expand the repository and right-click on the part you want to Checkout.

Looks like it, I’ve got the project checked out now and compiling. Thanks!
I used to use Subclipse, until I discovered Subversive:

I’ve used it on both Windows and Linux without trouble. Be warned that the menus aren’t all in quite the same places – akin to the difference between Photoshop and the GIMP.
