How to set up native subversion (javahl) with Subclipse on Mac OS X

Note that this is for Ganymede (Eclipse 3.4.x).

  1. Install the javahl binding with MacPorts:
    sudo port install subversion +bash_completion
    sudo port install subversion-javahlbindings
    
  2. Run eclipse, and add this upgrade site: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x
  3. Select the “JavaHL Adapter” and “Subclipse” modules and click “Install”
  4. Choose Eclipse > Preferences…, go to Team > SVN, find the “SVN Interface” pulldown, and choose “JavaHL”

    The easiest way is to install the package that CollabNet provides.

    If you are already using MacPorts and do not mind spending the time compiling it is a good option.

    CollabNet package is a Universal binary, including 32/64 bit. I recently tried Eclipse 3.5 Cocoa 64-bit version and it “just worked”.

    I had installed svn through macports. I really try to avoid non-automatic upgrading software.

    Thanks, that helped me out. Like you, I wanted to use macports to configure my system so this was great.
