Re: Subclipse under Linux

but, let me repeat my question:

it seems that other (professional) subversion clients (e.g., the one in the
upcoming IDEA release) completely rely on JavaSVN. Why not go that way with
suclipse as well? Or, at least provide a default JavaSVN config under Linux
that is completely independent of any binary stuff?
