title: Installing SVN in Eclipse
body: <p>I have been using SVN with Eclipse for a long time now, and i've never had any trouble with installation or while using it at all.</p>
  
  <p>However, i now have a new Windows 8, 64-bit machine. I've tried to install the SVN plugin several times and i failed on each occasion. I get the following error:</p>
  
  <p>An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
  session context was:(profile=epp.package.php, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
  Comparison method violates its general contract!

  <p>When installing, it always gets stuck at 25% while trying to retrieve a package.</p>
  
  <p>Please advise.</p>
