I'm trying to get subclipse (SVN support for Eclipse) working in Eclipse 3.1 on FC3, but I get errors trying to connect to some external repositories using either JavaSVN or SVN command line. Colleagues here are connecting without error using JavaHL but they are using Windows and subclipse for Windows includes JavaHL whereas the Linux version doesn't.
As I'm fairly clueless when it comes to Java (and frankly am fairly happy to stay that way) what is the most pain free way of installing the JavaHL library on FC3?
TIA.
Best, Darren

Can you use subversion directly from the commandline? I was suprised to find that it uses 'nonstandard' (or at least, unusual and often unsupported) HTTP verbs which mean that most port 80 proxies destroy the possibility to use subversion. Specifically, if your ISP runs an incompatible transaprent port 80 proxy, you will not be able to use subversion on port 80 at all with remote repos.

Yes, I can connect to the repositories in question without problem from the command line. However, if I use the "SVN command line" option in subclipse I get an error ("Subcommand 'list' doesn't accept option '-- xml'"). It does look like the easiest way to accomplish what I want is to use the JavaHL library, but I really don't want to compile all of subversion from source.
(Just to clarify, the subclipse plugin for Eclipse offers a choice of three backends for accessing subversion repositories: JavaHL, JavaSVN, or the SVN command line. I can't get the latter two to work with a couple of repositories I need access to, but colleagues using Windows who have the JavaHL library installed can using that option.)

Doesn't subversion use WebDAV? Perhaps that's the source of the "nonstandard HTTP verbs" you're referring to...

FC4 includes Subversion JavaHL in the subverison-javahl package. It is built against the included java-1.4.2-gcj and works with the included Eclipse.
Building JavaHL for FC3 could be annoying. Simplest is probably building that part of subversion from source. I think you can build and install javahl separately from the rest of Subversion.
