Dear Mark,

Just a few question:

1. Was the IDE automatically recognize the SilkSVN library on startup without any configuration once it was installed?

2. What is the current name (probably path) to the native dll (right now the IDE tries to locate the libsvnjavahl-1.dll)

3. Does the SilkSVN install set an environment variable called SUBVERSION_NATIVE_LIBRARY?

4. What dll-s are installed by SilkSvn


I'm asking these as we might need to update/improve the JavaHL detection on Windows. We did taht in linux adding the Ubuntu path to the search list and the user experience is much better. We could create a wiki how to configure the native libraries with screenshots and add a link to the subversion setting dialog as well.

Just a reference the native library detection happens in:

https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/ide/libs.svnClientAdapter.javahl/src/org/netbeans/libs/svnclientadapter/javahl/JavaHlClientAdapterFactory.java

I use the Slik SVN client with the advanced installation on Windows 10

This seems to work reasonably well, although I mostly work with git
these days.

. . . just my two cents

Well, NetBeans had support for 3 kind of Subversion clients. Native
library, svnkit and command line. Unfortunately the svnkit had to be
removed due to licensing reason. The command line is unreliable and
unfortunately the native is a bit hard to configure especially on windows.

AFAIK the Silk SVN client 1.10 needs to be installed in advanced mode and
select the installation of the native java binding. Then set up the path to
that library in the ide. Options - Misc -Version control.

If you succeed, that would be the fastest and most reliable solution.

I am testing NetBeans 11.1 for using in classroom and I recently
discovered that a Subversion client is not included in this version and you
have to install it.

This is an inconvenience that means an extra step and a possibility of
doing something wrong in the process.



Is it possible to include it out-of-the-box as in previous versions like
8.2.?

Being Subversion an Apache problem it should not be very difficult.



Best regards,
