Misc info
Whatever you do, don't checkout /jakarta/commons as you will be checking out a copy of every tag, trunk, and branch and it will take forever and a day. *Instead*, check out individual components, or (more likely) check out "trunks-proper" or "trunks-sandbox".
Checkout all components
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/trunks-proper/ jakarta/commons/trunks-proper svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/trunks-sandbox/ jakarta/commons/trunks-sandbox
Checkout individual components (Don't forget to checkout commons-build!)
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/commons-build/trunk jakarta/commons/trunks-proper/commons-build svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/dbcp/trunk jakarta/commons/trunks-proper/dbcp
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/commons-build/trunk jakarta/commons/trunks-sandbox/commons-build svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/sandbox/cache/trunk jakarta/commons/trunks-sandbox/cache
Getting directory listings
If you don't know the exact path to the component you wish to access, use 'svn ls' to get a directory listing, eg:
svn ls http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons
Maven config
project.properties
