There is an option in Preferences/Team/SVN where you can choose between
JNI and cmdline client.
That was done so that subclipse can be used on other platform than
windows and Linux.

SVNClientAdapter is also used by svnant. Svnant can use both JNI and
cmdline client.

I think cmdline client is more useful for svnant than for subclipse now
(when the user does not have javahl compiled on its platform).

cmdline client is still experimental (works great with svnant but some
features are missing for subclipse)

Yes, I wrote that so that the user can understand what we do behind ...
