Eclipse – Installing Subversion JavaHL library in Mac OS X

eclipsejavahlsubclipsesvn

I installed Subclipse in Eclipse using Eclipse Marketplace. I keep on getting a pop window with the message

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

This is the link that is suggested to be visited.
http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL

Under Mac OS X I find a link to OpenCollabNet but I can't find binaries on that link, would much appreciate if someone could help me locate the link to binaries.
And also is there a way to install Subversion JavaHL library via macports, if yes what is the command to do so.

You can also switch to the pure-Java implementation via "Window -> Preferences -> Team -> SVN -> SVN inteface" and choose the entry with "SVNKit". This way you remove any dependency on native code and get rid of these errors. Eclipse Preferences

If you are missing the SVNKit-choice, verify if you have installed the plugin "SVNKit Client Adapter" from CollabNet! Install SVNKit Adapter

What do “branch”, “tag” and “trunk” mean in Subversion repositories

Hmm, not sure I agree with Nick re tag being similar to a branch. A tag is just a marker

Trunk would be the main body of development, originating from the start of the project until the present.
Branch will be a copy of code derived from a certain point in the trunk that is used for applying major changes to the code while preserving the integrity of the code in the trunk. If the major changes work according to plan, they are usually merged back into the trunk.
Tag will be a point in time on the trunk or a branch that you wish to preserve. The two main reasons for preservation would be that either this is a major release of the software, whether alpha, beta, RC or RTM, or this is the most stable point of the software before major revisions on the trunk were applied.

In open source projects, major branches that are not accepted into the trunk by the project stakeholders can become the bases for forks -- e.g., totally separate projects that share a common origin with other source code.

The branch and tag subtrees are distinguished from the trunk in the following ways:

Subversion allows sysadmins to create hook scripts which are triggered for execution when certain events occur; for instance, committing a change to the repository. It is very common for a typical Subversion repository implementation to treat any path containing "/tag/" to be write-protected after creation; the net result is that tags, once created, are immutable (at least to "ordinary" users). This is done via the hook scripts, which enforce the immutability by preventing further changes if tag is a parent node of the changed object.

Subversion also has added features, since version 1.5, relating to "branch merge tracking" so that changes committed to a branch can be merged back into the trunk with support for incremental, "smart" merging.

Alternatively, you may do the following, which automates the package installation:

apt-add-repository ppa:dominik-stadler/subversion-1.7

apt-get update

apt-get dist-upgrade
