I would not state it that strongly.
Subclipse is written to Subversion's Java API interface. JavaHL is the
implementation that Subversion provides and uses the same native libraries
that the command line client and other clients like TortoiseSVN would use.
So there are benefits in that in terms of guaranteed compatibility in
behavior. If you use many clients it is a safe way to go, and in my
experience I think it is faster. Cannot say I have really measure it
though.
SVNKit is an alternative implementation of this interface in pure Java.
They do a great job being compatible, but it is a different codebase so
little differences can happen. Sometimes those are good differences. I
have had cases where a SVN client cannot talk to a given HTTP server but
SVNKit can.
SSH is one of the scenarios where I think using SVNKit can make a lot of
sense. Since it includes a pure Java SSH client the user experience is
just nicer in a GUI.
As devs, we only really write and test features using JavaHL and we just
assume SVNKit will take care of making sure their library works the same as
Subversion since that is what they signed themselves up for.
