Re: java and subversion

Hi Cédric,
afaik the old jni-bindings are not longer maintained. I contacted the
author, before we started the work on svnup, and he replied he did not
had the time on working on the binding. This was about the svn 0.16 release.

To build a client like svnup or an eclipse or idea plugin, the
swig-interface imho shows you to much details.

The jni-building can be separated easily from the rest of svnup.

Regards,
Patrick
