It seems like it also uses JavaHL [1]. [[[ ... Subclipse is written to Subversion's JavaHL API interface. SVNKit works with Subclipse because it provides an implementation of that interface. [cut] When it is possible, we have always recommended using the native Subversion JavaHL implementation but we recognize this is not always easy to do and using SVNKit is often the simpler path to take. ]]] [1] https://github.com/subclipse/subclipse#svnkit -- Timofei Zhakov
