More often than not, Java bindings for C libraries are auto-generated by SWIG, so one has a Java JAR (with native methods), with a JNI .dll/.so native library in between the JAR and the native (SVN in this case) library. It's more integrated than forking an external binary (as is done for CVS in Ant currently), but has the potential to corrupt the Java VM if run in process. I know for sure than the Java bindings of the BerkeleyDB used by SVN are that way, I just don't know about SVN... By since SVN uses WebDAV as its protocol, I suppose that one only needs pure Java support for WebDAV to talk to a SVN server!?!? Is this correct karl?

Basically, the dev@subversion.tigris.org list is where all conversation happens, so make sure to join that. -K -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail: -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
