How do I install javahl?

  • 772

I'm trying to get Subclipse working in Eclipse Galeilo, and to do that I have to install the JavaHL library.

I installed the library using sudo apt-get install libsvn-java, but the eclipse.ini file has to be modified to take in the new library as an argument.

First change to the ini file was -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni/, which produced the errors
"no libsvnjavahl-1 in java.library.path"
"incompatible javahl library loaded. 1.3.x or later required."
according to the install printout, version 1.6.12 was installed.

So, I added libsvnjavahl-1.so to the file path above, and produced the following errors:
"no libsvnjavahl-1 in java.library.path"
"no svnjavahl-1 in java.library.path"
"no svnjavahl in java.library.path"

What's going on here?

    are you installing eclipse from ubuntu repository? or download from eclipse?

    IMHO you need install eclipse manually.

    first you install subversion :

    sudo apt-get install subversion

    if you want to install subversion plugin for eclipse, you can install using menu Help -> Install New Software choose Helios or Galileo :

    Eclipse Helios

    choose Collaboration and select Subversive :

    Subversive

  2. Subversive? Not a good option, the problem is that version 1.7 or later of JavaHL is required, and the user is correct that libsvn-java only includes 1.6.x. Ubuntu needs to update this library.

  3. Install svn from WANdisco - worked for me. Small explanation with solution:

    Script to run (found in the post above too), which will install the subversive and libsvn-java 1.7

    And (as specified in the question), add the following line in eclipse.ini

    -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni/

  4. I have recently this error again, even if I installed libsvn-java from years. Not sure if it's due to upgrade to Eclipse 2019-03 or change to Azul Zulu 8.

    Anyway, I fixed it adding to eclipse.ini, in -vmargs options:

    -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni/

    I have Lubuntu 18.04.2
