The Subclipse JAR is likely more current as it was released later.
Generally, when I make an svnClientAdapter change that I need in
Subclipse, I commit the change to svnClientAdapter and the new JAR that
contains that change in the same commit. Normally, there would not have
been any changes made to svnClientAdapter that were not pulled over to
Subclipse, so I just tag the HEAD of both projects at the same time.
I always use the Eclipse compiler to produce my JAR, and I compress the
JAR. I am not sure what Daniel uses for svnAnt. It is possible that he
compiles with the Sun compiler and does not compress the JAR.
svnClientAdapter has an Ant script, I assume it works. If not, perhaps
someone could submit a patch for it?
If someone wants to step up and start producing official releases of
svnClientAdapter they can do so. Personally, I do not see the need for
it. Projects that want to use svnClientAdapter ought to be able to build
it from source easily enough. I do not want the extra work of doing this,
and I do not think I would use the official releases in Subclipse anyway.
If I make a change in svnClientAdapter, it is usually because I need it in
Subclipse. I cannot make a new release every time I make a change.
