Josh,
I am trying to get the HWPF code to write/read doc files. The website
described going to: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/poi/trunk/src/scratchpad/
I was using the command: svn co
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/poi/trunk/src/scratchpad/ scratchpad
but I just
tried what you suggested and it did work. I was able to go there via
a web
browser but how did you find this:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk?

Hello Phil,
In general, if you only need the 'latest release' or any release,
you can
follow the links from
http://poi.apache.org/
I guess the reason you are trying to use SVN is that you need
access to the
very latest main-line (hopefully to help contribute ; )
From what I understand, 'ViewVC' is a web based interface to svn:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/poi/trunk/
I use it for browsing, but not much else.
What command are you using to do the checkout? For example:
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk myLocalTrunk
The total size of an svn checkout for POI is ~140M in 14,000 files,
so this
command might take a few minutes.
I generally don't build scratchpad all by itself, but I guess you
could if
you have the other POI jars available. I just tried this checkout
and it
worked OK (~36M, 2200 files):
svn co
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/src/scratchpadmyLocalScratchpad
If you have a unix-like OS, 'svn' may already be installed. I use
the one
available with cygwin. Alternatively, you can work with
TortoiseSVN, which
is a shell-extension gui that provides a wrapper for much of the
functionality available on the command line.
Hope this helps,
Josh
