Description of problem: The Subversion Eclipse plugin, subclipse, doesn't work on Fedora28. When starting eclipse for the first time (no ~/.eclipse directory) and going in the menu to Window->Preferences->Team->SVN, a window pops up displaying the message: Incompatible JavaHL library loaded. Subversion 1.9.x required. In the Eclipse Preferences window, under Team -> SVN, SVN interface Client also shows: JavaHL (JNI) Not Available The default SVN version installed on F28 is 1.10.0. The same problem is reported on https://github.com/subclipse/subclipse/issues/59. A fix seems to have been prepared for future releases: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/eclipse-subclipse/commits/master (Enable conditional build support for svn backends). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): eclipse-4.7.3a-5.fc28.src.rpm eclipse-subclipse-4.2.3-2.fc28.src.rpm subversion-1.10.0-2.fc28.src.rpm How reproducible: Always . Either a message is diplayed (if eclipse is started for the first time) or SVN interface: Client shows "JavaHL (JNI) Not Available". Steps to Reproduce: 1.rm -rf ~/.eclipse 2.Start eclipse with the subclipse plugin. 3.Navigate to Window->Preferences->Team->SVN 4.a message is displayed "Incompatible JavaHL library loaded. Subversion 1.9.x required." (if eclipse is started for the first time) 5.SVN interface->Client shows: "JavaHL (JNI) Not Available". 6.No Subversion related actions (viewing differences, committing etc) possible from Eclipse. Actual results: No subversion actions possible in eclipse. Expected results: Ability to interact with subversion repositories and working copies. Additional info:
Yes, I see this as well. What I did to get things going is a dnf downgrade subversion. This puts subversion at 1.9.7-6 and subclipse is happy once again. Certainly not a permanent fix, but a way to keep working.
dnf downgrade subversion-javahl just worked for me for the same error
