Answer 1

can you try to run svn checkout once manually to your URL (https://col.../trunk C:\ant-1.8.1\Test_Checkout ) using command line and accept certificate.

svn will ask you for confirmation. accept it permanently.

After that this should work for subsequent requests from ant script.

Answer 2
