Trouble Obtaining 2.0

Troubleshooting General Help
1

To start with, I'm a business applications developer who writes in C# on Visual Studio, so you are going to need to speak very slowly and use small words.



I've developed in Java before (using TextPad) but I've never used a Java IDE. I've downloaded and installed a recent JDK and NetBeans 6.5 (bundled package) and read the tutorial here (http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/wiki/doku.php?id=setting_up_netbeans_6.1_for_jme_2.0) on how to obtain the jME 2.0 code, but I'm having some trouble.



I get the following error when I try to use Subversion:



org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: RA layer request failed
OPTIONS of 'http://jmephysics.googlecode.com/svn/trunk': Could not read status line: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
 (http://jmephysics.googlecode.com)



Is this a firewall or proxy issue, or something more fundimental?

(Also, I can't get the Island demo to run from the demo page. It just closes without doing anything after I select the resolution and everything. It's a low priority, but any suggestions on what that might be?)

Thanks in advance. XD

If you don't mind, I suggest trying a client like TortoiseSVN if you are using windows (I assume yes, being a .net developer). It integrates into windows, and you can just right click on a folder and do a SVN checkout.


I tried it on Tortoise and get the following error:


Import F:Java to http://jmonkeyengine.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

I must assume that if no one else is having a problem with the GoogleCode site, then it must be a firewall problem. I'll have to give it a shot at home.

I believe there is a known issue with the island demo. I've never encountered the error you have, but what SVN client are you using?

Subversion installed itself automatically when I first tried to use it, and I don't see a version number anywhere on the dialogue window.

It took me a while to find the time at home to try, but it seems that it was a firewall issue. The corporate firewall was blocking the connection.



Thanks for the earlier attempt at assistance.
