svn java api "Unable to open an ra_local session to URL"

I need to automatically checkout all svn revisions to do some repo mining.

I wrote a java code using svnkit (org.tmatesoft.svn_1.8.5.standalone_2) The code works nicely when i access the url of the repository but when i do checkout using file:/// protocol, the following svn exception appears.

I searched and found lots of recommendations like version mismatch in client and server. but i do not have client server. I only have a java code.

i checked out a revison recursively in my local drive and then i expect to use the repo in local drive to automatically checkout older revisions in offline mode

I can't figure out the solution and i am a novice.

Do you have any solution?

Exception:

Exception in thread "main" org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E180001: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: E180001: Unable to open repository 'file:///c:/repos/lego'

Thanks Seelenvirtuose

I used checked out folder as a repository and, therefore it was unable to open ra_local session..

I solved the problem by creating local repository and syncing it with remote one. To do so i followed the recommended steps in [1, 2]

Now it works :)

[1] How do I export (and then import) a Subversion repository? [2] http://slopjong.de/2010/01/20/let-svn-accept-revision-propchanges/
