Alexander Mueller is working on JNI bindings for the Subversion libraries here; please mail dev at subversion dot tigris org if you'd like to help out. Some notes from me (Alexander) for people who want to play a bit with the stuff: - take a look at the required tools list below - try to build the java classes with "build-java.sh" - try to build the library with "build.sh" - try to run the tests with "run-tests.sh" Required tools: the java subversion binding is still in a very early stage of development. So the easiest way to make the library and tests compile is to have all the tools at hand i was using: - linux (i am using SuSE 7.2) - gcc (i subversion gets built it should be ok) - JUnit 3.7 (get it at www.junit.org) - Sun Java J2SE 1.3.1 - a working subversion installation
