Subclipse and JavaHL installation headache

Question

I've run into problems installing the latest Subclipse plug in. I saw this post: subclipse: Unable to load default SVN Client, but the answer appears to be specific for Subclipse 1.6.x, and I think 1.8.x is presenting new issues. I'm on a mac, 10.6.8, with Eclipse Indigo. I have Subclipse 1.8.4 installed, with the Subversion JavaHL Native Library Adapter 1.7.3 installed, which is the correct version of JavaHL for Subclipse 1.8, according to http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL#head-5ccce53a67ca6c3965de863ae91e2642eab537de

When I tried to add a new SVN repository, it says "operation in progress", then gives me this error:

Failed to load JavaHL Library.
These are the errors that were encountered:
no libsvnjavahl-1 in java.library.path
no svnjavahl-1 in java.library.path
no svnjavahl in java.library.path
java.library.path = .:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java

I also tried uninstalling all the subclipse plugins, and instead installing the openCollabNet subversion package, as recommended here: http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL#head-5bf26515097c3231c1b04dfdb22c036bc511926b

But when I tried to add a new SVN repository, I received the error: "Unable to load defaul SVN client"

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Answer 1

I finally gave up using JavaHL and I installed SVNKit 1.6 (make sure to install "SVN Client Adapter" and "SVNKit Adapter" as well) instead.

...And it worked.

In case of run on macosx the correct way to install using brew for java is:

brew install subversion --with-java

then you should do the following:

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Java/Extensions
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib /Library/Java/Extensions/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib

like mention on the wiki of the project subclipse-wiki

I used the answer provided by Rafael https://stackoverflow.com/a/13090191/1446834

It worked for me also.

Answer 5

To fix this, just install the package with:

sudo apt-get install libsvn-java

You must config eclipse.inito add path /jni

For example:

-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni

On Ubuntu-13.04 32bits you need to edit the file:

$ sudo vi /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini

And add the path:

-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/jni

Answer 6

Go to Eclipse > Preferences > Team > SVN Under "SVN interface", choose "SVNKit". Worked for me.
