Aptana 1.5 and SVN 1.6.x

Difficulty:

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException - svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///D:/SvnData/Repositories/Project' svn: Expected FS format between '1' and '3'; found format '4'

Got a similair error exception in Aptana?

When you install Aptana 1.5 version, you’ll notice that the included Subclipse plugin is 1.4.x.

With Subversion 1.6.x. installed on your system, the Subclipse plugin in Aptana won’t work. Since Subversion client & Subclipse (& for example Tortoise SVN), all need to be from the same version.
So the solution is to upgrade Supclipse to 1.6.x.
However it bugged me, to do so.
Here is the complete solution:

1. Verify Aptana 1.4.x version: In Aptana click:
   Help > About Aptana Studio > Installation Details
   Subclipse 1.4.x. should be in this installed sofware list.
   Shutdown Aptana.
2. Go to your installation folder of Aptana, for example:
   C:\Program Files\Aptana\
3. In the features folder, remove all the folders and jars with subversion or subclipse in the file name:
   C:\Program Files\Aptana\features\
4. In the plugin folder, remove all the folders and jars with subversion or subclipse in the file name:
   C:\Program Files\Aptana\plugins\
5. From now, there is no Subclipse installed in your Aptana. Let’s install 1.6.x.
   In Aptana click: Help > Install New Software
6. Add the following software site, and name it ‘Subclipse’: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x
7. Select the “Core SVN Kit” and “Subclipse” checkboxes, and press “Next”
8. Incase you’ll get the following error: “The operation cannot be completed. See the details.”;
   uncheck: “Subclipse Integration for Mylyn… “
9. Incase you’ll have problems with “Accepting the agreements”, because the “Finish” button does not appear after checking “agree”. Retry the above 3 steps, but make sure, you uncheck the Mylyn on the first window (”Available software”), instead of pressing “Next” first.
10. Restart Aptana & Done! Your SVN should work right now. To verify Aptana 1.6.x version, repeat step 1.
