we just upgrade to SVN 1.8. Unfortunately nobody thought about us Linux folks :( Is there any way to connect Eclipse to an SVN 1.8?

The repo of Dominik Stadler is mentioned a couple of times in terms of upgrading to 1.7 but the 1.8 Folder looks pretty empty. :( I found the the source download of the cli version which works but is of course not integrated in eclipse. I cannot find a newer Version of SVN Kit or JavaHL though, which are used by subversive and subclipse as a connector. Is there maybe a plugin which uses the cli client? Or is it just waiting for an update? :(

Thx for any clues

edit

There is an Alpha Version of SVN Kit available on their site svnkit.com/download.php that supports SVN 1.8. Unfortuntely I cannot install the eclipse file "Cannot find jar file". Anyone? :(

If I drop the SVN Kit Alpha in the "dropins" folder of eclipse, it is listed in my plugin list but how the &#%$ do I use it now? :(

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

  1. Download the CollabNetSubversion-client rpm in the correct architecture (registration required).
  2. Install rpm sudo apt-get install rpm
  3. Install svn client without deps: sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps CollabNetSubversion-client-1.8.0-2. x86_64.rpm
  4. Find collabnet installation `sudo updatedb then locate *collabnet* (or use find or whatever you like), should be /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin/collabnetsvn-config
  5. Get the lib path, should be /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/lib
  6. Open your eclipse.ini
  7. Enter the lib path-Djava.library.path=/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/lib under the vmargs line.
  8. Install the SVN Plugin Subclipse (this does not seem to work with Subversive)
  9. Choose JavHL (JNI) 1.8.0 as your SVN interface
  10. CHECK THE #&%$§# PROJECTS OUT AND COMMIT THE $%&#§ OUT OF THEM!
