Subversion within Eclipse: what is JavaHL (JNI) and what is SVNKit (Pure Java)?

[frame]

Hi:

I use Eclipse as my IDE. I have installed Subclipse - the Subversion plugin
of Eclipse. One thing I am unclear is setting Preferences->Team->SVN, when
choosing SVN interface, there are two choices for Client, one is JavaHL
(JNI) and one is SVNKit (Pure Java) SVNKit v1.7.0.SNAPSHOT. I have no idea
what these are and I am curious about it.

I am not sure this is the right place to ask about it. Thank you anyway.

You should subscribe and email the ***@subversion.apache.org mailing list:

Check out the "SVNKit Versus javahl" box in

Some recent testing with the latest Subclipse using SVNKit I had some
working copy issues on Mac OS X, some of my files had 0001 permissions,
so I switched to JavaHL and they worked fine.
