What does SVNKit do for version control in Java?
Subversion is a leading and fast growing Open Source version control system. SVNKit brings Subversion closer to the Java world! SVNKit is a pure Java toolkit – it implements all Subversion features and provides APIs to work with Subversion working copies, access and manipulate Subversion repositories – everything within your Java application.
How to check out a folder in SVNKit stack?
You have to check out a folder. SVNClientManager ourClientManager = SVNClientManager.newInstance (null, repository.getAuthenticationManager ()); SVNUpdateClient updateClient = ourClientManager.getUpdateClient (); updateClient.setIgnoreExternals (false); updateClient.doCheckout (url, destPath, revision, revision, isRecursive);
Do you need to upgrade SVNKit to 1.7.14?

What’s the difference between native Subversion and SVNKit?
Native Subversion includes JNI bindings which are available through JavaHL interface – SVNClientInterface. SVNKit implements it with SVNClientImpl class, so that you may just switch between JavaHL and SVNKit in the runtime. Or just replace standard JavaHL jar and its native binaries with SVNKit jar file.
Do you need Java binaries to use SVNKit?
SVNKit is written in Java and does not require any additional binaries or native applications. It is portable and there is no need for OS specific code. SVNKit is compatible with the latest version of Subversion.
Which is an example of a SVNKit based jar?
Or just replace standard JavaHL jar and its native binaries with SVNKit jar file. SVNKit based command line client is not only the tool you’ll use in case there is no native client available on your system. It is also a great example of an application that uses SVNKit library.
What kind of reverse engineering library is SVNKit?
SVNKit is a pure-Java reverse-engineering of the Subversion API. SVNKit implements the JavaHL interface and SVNClientAdapter uses the library via this interface. Refer to the SVNKit website for Terms and Conditions. A sample project is maintained in this repository. It shows how to initialize and use the library.
