RA layer request failed when trying to checkout jme3

I am trying to checkout jme3 and jme3-gde following the instructions here, but when I try to checkout jme3, I get this error message:







When I try to browse the source code manually here, everything works fine, so I’m not sure what the problem might be.



Can anyone help?

I just came across the same problem in Eclipse. It looks like you're running Netbeans, but the solution I found may work for you with a bit of searching.



I managed to fix it by going to the preferences in Eclipse, and changing the SVN Interface to SVNKit from JavaHL. You might need to update SVNKit as I got an error the first time I tried it.



Edit: Nevermind, that didn't work in the end. I'm now getting the following error:



    svn: Processing REPORT request response failed: XML document structures must start and end within the same entity. (/svn/!svn/vcc/default)

svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/!svn/vcc/default'



Anyone know why? Also interestingly, the two problems both occur for me just after TestChooser.exe is checked out.

I see where Netbeans allows me to set the path for the SVN executable. I'm not sure if downloading and installing SVNKit will work, I will try that next.

I also get the error message after TestChooser.exe is checked out. Here is the output from Netbeans:

EDIT: I have installed SVNKit and I get the same error message as InfernoZeus. I'm starting to believe the problem isn't on my end.

Are you using a 64-bit OS? 64-bit JVM?



I'm running 64-bit JVM on Windows 7 with Eclipse x64. I'm going to try it with 32-bit versions and see if that makes a difference.



Check out this issue on the Google Code issue page: http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=4304

Edit: and this one: https://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=4046

Edit: there are loads of issues with the same problem,  definitely something wrong on their end:

Seems like a server side issue, but at least they're aware of it and are looking in to it.

I am running 32-bit Java on Windows 7 x64. I am not sure about my Eclipse version.

I tried RapidSVN as someone mentioned it in one of the reports, but I get the same error message.

Can anyone else successfully checkout jme3?

Just got a response from Google:


We had some minor corruption in our datastore.  An automated process is currently running to fix things up; it should be finished in a few hours.

I've confirmed that gpulammps is working again.  jmonkeyengine is still having the same problem, but I will be sure to check that it is working after the auto-fix-up is done.

Sorry for the inconvenience!


Very quick response, and solution :D Hopefully it'll work soon

Well I suppose their relatively impeccable record of reliability was bound to end some time  Must have been after their Tuesday read-only maintenance time

Yep, I guess so. A couple of hours of 'down time' isn't very much compared to the number of hours they've been hosting jME :P

I just tried to checkout jme3 again and it works!



So it seems like the problem is resolved for now. Thanks everyone for your help.
