java - Subclipse and JavaHL installation headache

Question

I've run into problems installing the latest Subclipse plug in. I saw this post: subclipse: Unable to load default SVN Client, but the answer appears to be specific for Subclipse 1.6.x, and I think 1.8.x is presenting new issues. I'm on a mac, 10.6.8, with Eclipse Indigo. I have Subclipse 1.8.4 installed, with the Subversion JavaHL Native Library Adapter 1.7.3 installed, which is the correct version of JavaHL for Subclipse 1.8, according to http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL#head-5ccce53a67ca6c3965de863ae91e2642eab537de

When I tried to add a new SVN repository, it says "operation in progress", then gives me this error:

Failed to load JavaHL Library.
These are the errors that were encountered:
no libsvnjavahl-1 in java.library.path
no svnjavahl-1 in java.library.path
no svnjavahl in java.library.path
java.library.path = .:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java

I also tried uninstalling all the subclipse plugins, and instead installing the openCollabNet subversion package, as recommended here: http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL#head-5bf26515097c3231c1b04dfdb22c036bc511926b

But when I tried to add a new SVN repository, I received the error: "Unable to load defaul SVN client"

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Go to Eclipse > Preferences > Team > SVN Under "SVN interface", choose "SVNKit". Worked for me.
