Subversion JavaHL bindings

hamaryns · June 30, 2008, 2:17pm

Hi, For Subclipse to work properly, I would like to have the JavaHL bindings from Subversion. These seem to be not available in the current repository build. Is there a way to get it, is there a separate repo for this?

I’m also trying to get Subversion working in Eclipse. It seems JavaHL is packaged with “subversion” in the openSUSE 11 repo, but after installing it, I still cannot get Subclipse to recognize the SVN client.

Anyone have Eclipse working with Sunversion in openSUSE 11?

Still can’t get this working. I also tried adding “-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/:/usr/lib/svn-javahl” to the Eclipse JVM args, as is suggested on some other forums. I opened bug 423274 to track this.

This was apparently fixed in Subclipse 1.4.4. It works fine now.

I searched for JavaHL in openSUSE 11.1 (64bit) and could not find it. It’s not in the subversion package and a search for javahl did not yield anything. Is it just not there/available? I’d like to know if anybody can help!

My workaround for Subclipse is now to use the SVNKit instead, even if it is not the recommended way.

I also cannot get Subversion working with Eclipse using JavaHl. I can get it working with SVNKit. Add subclipse: Subclipse Update Site as update site and install SVNKit. After restart select in preferences SVNKit instead of JavaHL.

Hi,
I was able to use JavaHL on openSUSE 11.1 (x86) using the code from this repository Index of /repositories/Subversion/Apache_openSUSE_11.1 .

I hope this help!

Updating from the mmontecchi repo (subversion client) and the current Eclipse-3.4 packages from Opensuse_Factory and executing with this parameters, works for me:

eclipse -vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1 -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib64/:/usr/lib64/svn-javahl/

Note: I’m working in a 64-bit system

Does anybody know where the repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Subversion/Apache_openSUSE_11.1/ has been moved to?
Or where I could download the JavaHL libraries?

Many Thanks
Martin

Hi
Those files are all part of the subversion package for example for
openSUSE 11.1 version 1.5.5;


libsvnjavahl-1.so
libsvnjavahl-1.so.0
libsvnjavahl-1.so.0.0.0
svn-javahl.jar

Thank you Malcolm

Apparently I had installed the wrong subversion client from the repository. :\ The Apache subversion works fine.

Should anyone else have the same problem: use subversion with the description “subversion - A Concurrent Versioning system similar to but better than CVS”

Regards, Martin

This doesn’t appear to work any more.

> rpm -qa | grep subversion
subversion-1.6.17-1.8.30

So as of this version (and possibly earlier) of subversion, which was last touched by dmueller@suse.de, JavaHL is not included.

I wonder where you have this version from? It is neither in 11.4 (which
has the javahl in it) nor in 12.1 which also contains javahl.
