I have the following problem and would like to know if anyone else has come across it.
Background
I set up Subversion 1.1.5 on a linux server and created a test repository. On my windows machine, I set up Eclipse 3.0.2. I installed the Subclipse 0.9.31 and JavaSVN 0.8.8.1 Eclipse plug-ins for Subversion. I successfully connected to the test repository on the linux server from within Eclipse.
Problem
The above worked for a couple of days and now as I try to connect to the repository I get the following error message in a popup
Error validating location: "org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: The system cannot find the file specified.
svn: Can't create tunnel: The system cannot find the file specified.
"
Keep location anyway?
Additional Testing
1. I re-installed Eclipse and started from scratch but the problem persists.
2. I can still successfully connect to the test repository using TortoiseSVN from my windows machine. This indicates that the problem is likely to be within Eclipse.
