[Subclipse-users] Re: subant / svn info not working

Wow, it seems there are not much candidates to help me with this
problem (posted 11 days ago, cf. 3 questions after the description of
the problem).

Maybe someone could help me find a better way to reach the good persons?

 - Does anyone know if it is well a subant-related problem? (Maybe
it's javahl, in which case I should maybe try another mailing-list.)

 - Do you think this should be posted to another subclipse mailing
list (issues / dev / ...)? AFAIK we're supposed to first post here
(users) until some developer see it. (Cf.
http://subclipse.tigris.org/mailing-list-guidelines.html)

- Any other idea?

(Note: initial post attached below for the memory.)

Yours fathfully,
