Is it possible to link EasyEclipse to an SVN repository on a local Windows drive?
I've just installed EasyEclipse on Vista SP1. I've entered a project with two php files and one xml file and everything appeared to be working okay until I tried to link to the SVN repository on my M drive (m:\SVN_Repository). On Team->Share Project->SVN, the Enter Repository Location Information asks for a URL, and won't accept anything (including valid URLs). As soon as I enter any character it says:
"The repository path must be a valid URL Invalid svn url :M:\SVN_Repository".
Also, I've tried to set the SVN Configuration Location in Preferences to m:\SVN_Repository\conf (which is where the SVN configuration file is located) but it says "Selected directory is not a svn config dir".
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I think it is possible; but you have to use a URL, not a windows path. The URL for a local path starts with file:// .
Look for example at this page: http://www.tertullian.org/rpearse/subclipse_windows.htm , section "Use of Subversion in Eclipse". The URL you want to use probably looks like "file:///SVN_Repository" (however, I don't know how to make it point to a drive that's not the C: drive).

Thanks for the quick response. That got me to the next step. I couldn't find a way to specify the m: drive so I moved the repository to the c: drive.
