After updating to Snow Lion I started receiving these errors in Flash Builder / Eclipse when trying to use SVN:

Answer 1

For Eclipse/STS v3.9.X windows user, you may need to update your subclipse version.

Go to Help > Install New Software > Click on Subclipse and edit the version from 1.6.X to 1.8.X

This method also apply to those who encounter JavaHL not available. You can check whether JavaHL is available or not by Go to Windows > Preference > Team > SVN. You may check it in SVN Interface > Client section.

If this work on MAC OS, kindly response in comment section. :)

I Just installed Mountain Lion and had the same problem I use FLashBuilder (which is 32bit) and MountainLion is 64bit, which means by default MacPorts installs everything as 64bit. The version of subclipse I use is 1.8 As i had already installed Subversion and JavaHLBindings I just ran this command:

 sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants active +universal 

This made mac ports go through everything already installed and also install the 32bit version.

I then restarted FlashBuilder and it no longer showed any JavaHL errors.

Try this:

1. Select Window >> Preferences
2. Expand Team >> SVN
3. Under SVN interface set Client to SVNKit (Pure Java) SVNKit....

Answer 4

maybe you can try this: change jdk version. And I resolved this problem by change jdk from 1.6.0_37 to 1.6.0.45 . BR!

Answer 5

If you do not need to use JavaHL, Subclipse also provides a pure-Java SVN API library -- SVNKit (http://svnkit.com). Just install the SVNKit client adapter and library plugins from the Subclipse update site and then choose it in the preferences under Team > SVN.

For me i started getting this problem when I upgraded to java 8, and then reverted back to java 7. Upgraded again to java 8 and the problem got resolved.
