[Subclipse-users] Suggestion for FAQ

Hello,

I am new to Subclipse and from this perspective I'd like to make a
suggestion to enhance your FAQ.

I've been trying to use Subclipse with an svn+ssh connection under
Windows and it took me a long time to get it to work (lots of misleading
and outdated tips via Google). It would be great, if you could spend
some more lines of text in your FAQ under
http://subclipse.tigris.org/faq.html#svn-ssh
to make things clear.

Please include a preamble like:
"There are two methods to tunnel SVN commands via SSH:
1) JavaHL (JNI). This method uses the native Subversion library routines.
2) SVNKit (formerly known as "JavaSVN"). This is a pure Java rewrite of
the Subversion library.
You can switch between the two methods in Eclipse using the Settings
under "Window/Preferences/Team/SVN/"
For Windows users, the SVNKit method is the easiest approach as no
external SSH program (like putty) needs to be installed."

This hint would have saved me a lot of time.

Thanks for the great Subclipse plugin,

     Winfried
