I need to use Subversion with Eclipse on Mac Lion. I encounter problem as below

I saw: Subclipse in Mac OS Lion shows "Unable to load default SVN client" error

In my context:

  • I use Mac OS Lion 10.7.2
  • Eclipse version: 3.7.1 64 bit
  • I install Subversion: Universal Subversion 1.6.17 Binaries for Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) in the page: http://www.open.collab.net/downloads/community/
  • I install Subclipse by the "Install New Software..." feature of Eclipse with the update link: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x It install Subclipse 1.8.2, JavaHL 1.7.1.1 and some other packages.
  • When I go to menu Preferences/ Team / SVN , it produce error: "Incompatible JavaHL library loaded. 1.7.x or later required."
  • I find to install SVN Kit, so use it instead of JavaHL as the very first link refer (here), but I don't see it in Subclipse package.

Follow the steps as below to get it working:

  1. Install subclipse via update url: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x
  2. Install subversion using the binary from here: http://www.ubersvn.com/download (scroll down to "Command-Line Client 1.6.18 and 1.7.6 certified by WANdisco" section since that's all you need)
