There are two parts in the library: low level and high level.
Low level part is more or less finished and provides the same functionality
as declared in subversion/include/svn_ra.h, i.e. it allows one to perform
all read and write operations on repository without creating and managing
working copy files. Svn, http, and https protocols are supported, however
https is limited by the java cryptographic support, I didn't investigate it
a lot, but with some sites ssl connection works fine and with some it
doesn't work.
High level part provides an API similar to the javahl bindings and its
default implementation works with the same working copy files format as
"native" svn library. Not all the methods are implemented but there are
already commit,update,import,export,copy,move and property management
methods (all methods work with the wc files). Merge and status are not
implemented yet. My milestone is to provide a command line java client that
will work using this library and will implement all the features (or all
useful features) of the "native" client. This way I will be able to
bootstrap the library and make sure that it works in the reallife
conditions.
There are unit tests and they all pass at the moment, so all the declared
API is functional at least to the level defined in the unit tests :)
I hope eventually all this information along with the javadoc will appear on
the website.

There are two plugins. One just wraps the library and another is a simple
eclipse view that allows one to browse repository, view files and their
props, similar to the web svn browser with some more information provided.
It was tested with eclipse 3.1. To test the "browser" plugin download
01.10.2004 version, because latests version doesn't contain it, only the
wrapper plugin. This eclipse view plugin has very little practical meaning
and was written merely as a test app for the "low level" functionality of
the library.
Thanks,
Alexander Kitaev.
