The javahl bindings offer basicly the operations as the command line
client. The most important classes are SVNClient and SVNAdmin (trunk
only). The commands of svn are implemented in SVNClient and of svnadmin
in SVNAdmin. You look at the org.tigris.subversion.javahl.tests package
in trunk for my testcase, svnup (http://svnup.tigris.org) or subclipse
(http://subclipse.tigris.org) for samples. You should able to do what
you need with that. If you are missing anything or have more questions,
please contact me.

AFAIK this bindings are currently not maintained.
