I installed Beyond CVS with SVN support (org.eclipse.externaltools_v0.7.0_with_svn.zip).

For some reason now I can compare two files, but when I try to compare with any other option like "Latest Revision" or "Revision..." it gives me this error:

A error occured while trying to compare revisions: null

    Thanks for reporting this bug, to help us determine the cause of this problem would you be able to open the Error Log view in Eclipse? This view should contain the error that you got. If you double click on that error in the list it should open up a dialog which will list the stack trace of the error. This will greatly help us quickly fix this problem.

    Thanks.
    Chris

    Similar error here. When I'm in the resource perspective, select a file and do a Compare with... > Latest Revision, I get the error "The selected file has no revisions in the repository" (of course it has one).
    The Error log says: "An exception stack trace is not available."

    When I do a Compare with... > Revisions..., I get the message "An error occurred while trying to compare revisions: null" first and then the "The selected file has no revisions in the repository".
    The Error log for the first message says:
    "java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.eclipse.externaltools.beyondcompare.action.ChooseRevisionAction.chooseRevision(ChooseRevisionAction.java:72)
    at org.eclipse.externaltools.beyondcompare.action.ChooseRevisionAction$1.run(ChooseRevisionAction.java:49)
    at org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext$ModalContextThread.run(ModalContext.java:113)
    "

    I'm using:
    Eclipse 3.2.2
    SVN repository with Subversive 1.1.2
    Beyond Compare 2.4.3
    BeyondCVS 0.7.0

    CVS Beyond seems to work only with Subclipse and not together with Subversive. It would be nice if it would work with both plugins together.

    Thanks for the last post. Indeed to date Beyond CVS only works with Subclipse. I'll look into integrating it with Subversive too as soon as I can.

    The latest version (0.7.4, April 1st, 08) now supports SVN Subversive OR SVN Subclipse.
