I have a few comments.

1) As of 0.9.33, when we include JavaSVN, I really do not see how it
would be possible for it not to load. We include everything it needs, so
why would it fail?

2) In svnClientAdapter, we do not currently output any errors for
JavaSVN, it might output its own.

3) For JavaHL, we only output to the system console, which you normally
would not be able to see when running Eclipse. However, we also capture
the errors in Subclipse and show them to you in preferences under
Team->SVN when you try to select JavaHL.

4) If none of the three adapters are available, which seems impossible,
we output an error to the Eclipse log.

Given all of this, what specific changes do you feel should be made, and
why.

Thanks

Mark
