m2Eclipse

I just installed the m2Eclipse plugin and am trying to checkout a file
from Subversion.

Getting this error "SCM provider is not available for scm:null..."

Googling a bit led to suggestions that I didn't have the Subversion
SCM provider installed, but I'm not seeing that in the list of
available software from the Sonatype update site.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

I am not sure what your problem is.
We checkout projects all the time using Eclipse and just use the Eclipse 
"New Project" to create new projects that use Maven and Spring and 
.......everything.

Are you trying to work outside Eclipse with Maven. We never do that 
since all our projects are in Eclipse and Maven is an integrated part of 
Eclipse.

I would suggest using the Springsource STS version of Eclipse. You get 
everything that you need in one install and all the bits are properly 
integrated.
It was taking us all day to get an Eclipse.org version of Eclipse 
configured with all the plug-ins. With STS it take a long download (it 
is big) but a quick install and you only have to use the update to get 
Subversive installed and Subversive finds it own connectors which saves 
a lot of grief.
I do not mind doing a clean install on each new version since it is 
almost as fast as an update using the Eclipse built-in update.

We used Eclipse for 2 years before moving to the STS version.

Another piece of free advice: If you are going to use Maven get the 
Nexus repository on your server. It will save you a lot of time dealing 
with Maven.

We never had <scm> sections in our poms. Eclipse can checkout projects 
that use Maven.

Aha!  I've been sticking with Eclipse 3.4 for months because, when
trying to check out a Maven project set from SCM, I would get a dialog
demanding to know which SCM using a disabled droplist control.  The
list was empty, because no providers were installed.  Ugh.  It works
now, though I had to AltaVista for "m2Eclipse extras" to find the
separate site on which they live.

How did we miss this?

Success!

Turns out I missed the requirement for the m2Eclipse extras .. those
contain the SCM integration plugins.  Looks like Subversive is
supported by the SCM Integration.. Subclipse requires an additional
provider.

On a clean Eclipse 3.5 install, I added Subversive, M2Ecilpse and
Extras and was able to create a new project via Svn checkout.

Thanks to everyone for the help.

I don't think so. M2Eclipse has an integration plugin between
M2Eclipse and Subclipse (not subversive) that adds an extra "Check out
as Maven project" menu item.

Yes, Subversive is an Eclipse plugin..

So the M2Eclipse plugin, when checking out a new project in Eclipse
will use the Maven scm plugin?  Not the Eclipse SCM providers?

If that's the case, then it's definitely my problem as I didn't have
the <scm/> section declared in my pom.  I'll give that a try.

i think Subversive is an Eclipse plugin that allows you to access
Subversion from within Eclipse.  Maven does not use Subversive, Maven
will work with your SCM(Subversion in this case) directly.  you need
to add an SCM section to your POM (or SuperPOM) so Maven knows how to
access your SCM.
here is some info on configuring Maven to work with your SCM:
http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#SCM

and here is some info on getting started with the SCM plugin:

I'm using Subversive.. Can't figure out how to install the Maven SCM
providers for that, however.

I ended up creating the Eclipse files using the Maven Eclipse plugin..
but I'd like to be able to checkout directly from Eclipse.

You might want to look at Subversive. It is part of Eclipse and works 
very well and is much easier to install since it knows how to find its 
connectors.
We started out with Subcipse but moved to Subversion when it became 
available and have been very happy.

Does Maven SCM not support Subversive?
