Hello,
Well I am facing the same problem…ditto……Still I am also on the track to get the source code.A guy has suggested me the following solution most probably same as you have stated but still I am stating you……

Getting the source code from svn is easier.

If you dont have it, you can first download tortoise svn from
http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads , get 32 bit installer downloaded onto your system and install it. After completion it probably asks for restart. Restart back and u can observe two more tabs svn checkout , tortoiseSVN on the rightclick of mouse.
Now create a new folder where u want the code to be downloaded, rightclick on the folder, click svn checkout, on the Checkout window type this url http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/ at URL repository and click ok.
The code is then downloaded from the svn.

Well I have tried with the above solution and was success in extracting 11bytes of data but thereafter faced with the following error :-

Error: Server sent unexpected return value (503 Internal error) in response to REPORT
Error: request for '/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/!svn/vcc/default'

I am still in search for its solution..If you get any then please let me know

Thanks Chims!!!

For Tortoise SVN, use the svn url, not the http one.

svn://www.alfresco.org/alfresco

You know you have to compile the source before deploying to Tomcat, right?

That's the wrong URL. Years and years out of date.

The correct URL is on the wiki. (Sorry cant cut and paste on an iPad)

What I miss in the Wiki …
… is the svn command syntax, how to get
1.) a specific revision … or
2.) a specific tagged revision.

What I figured out with google are the following commands. Please acknowledge or correct …

1.) svn co -r <rev.no.> http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco
for the community tagged revisions:
2.) svn co http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/COMMUNITYTAGS/V4.2c/

Is this OK? Next question:
when I have downloaded a release, where can I see which revision number is it assigned to? (Normaly svn tells at the end which revision number was checked out, but when the command window is closed the info is gone …)

I just tried out both alternatives (revision 4576 and tagged revision V4.2a) and have got the same results like checking out just the HEAD revision … so the proposed commands do not what I have hoped they will do …
