Howdy,

So thanks for the google code thing. I was able to import a Java
project I'm working on more or less successfully
(http://code.google.com/p/dexlanguage/source). However, I'm having
difficulty accessing the SVN repository via Eclipse (I'm using the
Subclipse plug-in). Apparently Subclipse doesn't approve of whatever
security certificate googlecode.com uses. Unfortunately, SVN doesn't
tell me what that certificate contains. I'm wondering if you can
provide the certificate so I can add it to my operating system's list
of trusted certificates. (Subclipse is written in Java, and I believe
the JRE's SSL implementation relies on the underlying operating
system.)

Perhaps a FAQ on how to set up one's environment so that googlecode.com
is a trusted host?

Thanks again,

-Paul

Actually, the svn commandline client prints out the entire certificate
to examine, and asks if you want to accept it.  So this sounds like a
shortcoming in subclipse.  :-)

Try doing a checkout using the commandline client, and 'accept the
cert permanently'.  Then it will be cached in your ~/.subversion/auth/
area.  And then other svn clients (like subclipse) should be able to
take advantage of that cache.

Oh it's definitely a problem with Subclipse. I was able to import my
project from the command line without having to take any special action
regarding certificates. However I'd prefer to manage the project from
Eclipse, since (aside from this issue) the SVN integration is very
helpful.

But, turns out Subclipse will ask you whether or not you want to accept
Thawte as as a trusted authority. It presents you with three options,
"No", "Trust Temporarily" and "Trust Permanantly". I had selected
"Trust Temporarily." The problem is, Subclipse only asks once, the very
first time you try to set up xxx.googlecode.com as a repository. It
doesn't ask each time it connects to the repository.

I tried again on a different workstation, selected "Trust Permanantly"
and everything works as it should.

I just have to figure out how to reset Subclipse's configuration on the
other machine and that should work too. So basically I'm good to go.

Thanks,

I'm using subclipse too. See:

It asked me the first time, and I selected 'temporarily' as you did.
But it kept asking me so finally I selected 'permanently' and haven't
heard from it again. It sounds like yours didn't ask you the second
time. I'm running Eclipse 3.2 and a fairly recent version of Subclipse.
FYI, if all else fails, plug-in settings are generally kept in a file
in your workspace like
.metadata/.plugins/org.whatever.plugin/something.xml .
