----------------------------------

Thanks for testing this. This is exactly what I was asking for when I added SVN, git, gwt, jrebel, etc. to Central -- is enough stuff in there, or is more required?

Here's what we provide in JBDS in a single wrapper feature [0]:

{code}
                <import feature="com.collabnet.subversion.merge.feature" version="2.2.3" match="compatible"/>
                <import feature="com.sun.jna" version="3.2.7" match="compatible"/>
                <import feature="org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter.feature" version="1.6.12" match="compatible"/>
                <import feature="org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter.javahl.feature" version="1.6.15" match="compatible"/>
                <import feature="org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter.svnkit.feature" version="1.6.15" match="compatible"/>
                <import feature="org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.graph.feature" version="1.0.9" match="compatible"/>
                <import feature="org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.mylyn" version="3.0.0" match="compatible"/>
                <import feature="org.tigris.subversion.subclipse" version="1.6.17" match="compatible"/>
                <import feature="org.tmatesoft.svnkit" version="1.3.5.7406" match="compatible"/>
{code}

I can add the svnkit and svnkit clientadapter features. Might have to include JNA too, as well as the generic clientadapter feature. JavaHL is platform-specific -- adding that would mean adding several more features to cover our various supported OSes (3 or 6 more).

Problem is, where now there's 1 SVN-related feature (one click), the above suggestion gets us to 5 (svnkit, svnkit CA, generic CA, JNA), and if you want JavaHL we're up to 8 or more (many clicks). This just bloats the site and makes it arguably HARDER to install SVN support.

Alternatively, we could remove SVN from the JBT Central (as it's already on Eclipse Marketplace, right?) and add the JBDS SVN feature to the JBDS version of central, once we have that alternate directory.xml file somewhere. We could then simply add all the JBDS all-in-one wrapper features I've already created and tested [1] into that version of Central to ensure a simpler experience for users.

> Either remove svn from the list or provide a working SVN setup.
> I assume its a matter of a lacking javahl library or something ?
