I hadn't thought of that, but I still prefer my method, as the other two
can affect other projects, whereas my way is very specific to subclipse.
To try to answer your other question, a better question is why java
cannot find the libsvnjavahl.so when it is in the normal place for Linux
to look for so's. The reason the libsvnjavahl.so can find its
dependencies is because it uses the standard Linux load library
mechanism, which looks wherever ldconfig tells it to look, usually /lib
and /usr/lib, and occasionally /usr/local/lb. This is configured in
/etc/ld.so.conf.
However if you put the libsvnjavahl.so in any of those places Java will not
find it unless you explicitly set java.library.path which is kind of
inconvenient.
I cannot find anything that documents Eclipses behavior of being able to
load JNI's when put in the plugins directory, but I'm sure it is
somewhere.
