I maintain Subclipse and contribute to the maintenance of JavaHL in Subversion. I do not really have any objections to the concept but it would be helpful to have a patch created as a patch to Subversion itself and the trunk version. It looks like the patch in the link is to the Debian-specific packaging (and for an older version of SVN). The link also says this: "This jar is a dependency of eclipse-subclipse package. Attached patch adds the needed metadata." I have no idea what Debian might be doing in its own packaging but in Subclipse itself this is not true. Subclipse does not use the svn-javahl.jar file from Subversion. The JavaHL API is wrapped in an Eclipse plugin that Subclipse itself provides and this plugin of course has all of the OSGI information included since it is a plugin. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
