We are using Netbeans on a larger SunRay based setup, with several SunRay terminal servers and a central NFS-based installation of NetBeans. Several users on a terminal server may use NetBeans at the same time. Upon importing a new project into our subversion repository, I got the following error message: org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Path '/var/tmp/svn_dummy/ConveyorDesigner' does not exist The subversion log also contains that error message: ==[IDE]== 11.01.2012 11:34:53 Connecting to Subversion Repository... ==[IDE]== 11.01.2012 11:34:55 Connecting to Subversion Repository... finished. ==[IDE]== 11.01.2012 11:35:06 Importing... svn: URL 'https://svn.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de/svn/BioGraph/ConveyorDesigner' non-existent in revision '1.671' svn: URL 'https://svn.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de/svn/BioGraph/ConveyorDesigner' non-existent in revision '1.671' import -m "initial checkin after Netbeans based rewrite" -N /var/tmp/svn_dummy/ConveyorDesigner https://svn.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de/svn/BioGraph/ConveyorDesigner svn: Path '/var/tmp/svn_dummy/ConveyorDesigner' does not exist svn: Path '/var/tmp/svn_dummy/ConveyorDesigner' does not exist ==[IDE]== 11.01.2012 11:35:19 Importing... finished. The directory /var/tmp/svn_dummy exists, but belongs to another user. Its permissions are 0755, so I'm not able to create a sub directory. The corresponding user has not logged in for over a year, so this directory was just left over by the subversion support in NetBeans (as are several dozends additional files in the temporary directory.....). A first attempt to solve the was setting TMPDIR and TEMPDIR to enforce another directory for temporary files. But these environment variables are not honoured by NetBeans..... Since I'm not an administrator on this box, I'm not able to remove the directory. If I were, the subversion plugin would probably create an new directory and leave it in place, delegating the problem to the next user. The subversion code should be checked for correctly handling multi user situations, e.g. by including the user name in the name of temporary directories. The correct removal of temporary files and directories should also be checked. Other solutions would be the correct handling of TMPDIR/TEMPDIR or allowing a user to specify which directory should be used by the subversion plugin.
