Use svn with Eclipse Galileo on Ubuntu 9.10

After wasting a lot of time myself, I thought this could serve some other people...

So here's how I did it :

Run sudo eclipse (that will install plugins system-wide)
Eclipse > Install new software > Add
Name = "whatever"
Location = http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x
OK
Work with: "whatever"
Select these to install :
- CollabNet Merge Client
- Subclipse
- Subclipse Integration for Mylyn 3.x
- Subversion Client Adapter
- Subversion JavaHL Native Library Adapter
- Subversion Revision Graph
If you get a "Subversion 1.6 contains a bug that causes Eclipse to crash .... GNOME keyring ... we recommand ... ", choose OK.

Next install the Java bindings for SVN
1. sudo apt-get install libsvn-java
2. Eclipse > Window > Preferences > Team > SVN
3. If that triggers a "Failed to load JavaHL Library." error, you need to add libsvnjavahl-1 in the Eclipse path :
4. Just throw a symlink into one of the path in the error message :
5. 123
  
  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jni/libsvnjavahl-1.so /usr/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.so sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jni/libsvnjavahl-1.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.so.0.0.0
6. Restart eclipse and step 3 should be solved.
Perhaps you want to use SVN with existing checkout project ?
1. Right-click on your project in Eclipse
2. Team > Share Project > svn > Validate Conneciton on Finish > Finish
