Subversion to Java bindings, what's the status?

Hi!

(I'm a first time poster, so please forgive me if I'm behaving badly.)

I would like to know the status of the different Java bindings available
for Subversion. Is this the right forum for this question?

What I'm interested in, as far as I've understood the subversion
documentation is bindings to the ra-layer.

Basicly, what I (currently) want to do, is to be able to retrieve
listings of files in a specific folder in the repository. to be able
to add and remove files, and to be able to replace with a new version.

This is probably very similar to what a general webdav client does to
the repository when accessing it. (as in from windows explorer)

If it would be easier to access this functionality by using a webdav
implementation for Java, then that will probably be my choice, but
I'm interested in knowing if there is a better way to do it.

I've tried to look at both the javahl-bindings, and the swig-java-bindings.

The javahl-bindings I find very non-java-ish, and far from obvious.
The swig-java-bindings I can't even get to compile properly.

For both bindings I'm missing a simple example of how to use the apis.
Is this information available somewhere, if so, where?

So, in conclusion, I'm interested in some kind of information about the
state of the bindings and if they are in an operational state, how to
make them work?

regards
Gustav Munkby
