Answer 1

I went to this topic because I was in need to make SVN 1.7 to work with subclipse.

For those with the same problem, the easiest way to fix it is to install Subversion and JavaHL from MacPorts.

The packages you need to install with macports are subversion and subversion-javahlbindings (check here), they are both 1.7.1.

With these packages you can install the subclipse using the update site with version 1.8.x. (http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x)

If you don't have macports installed follow these instructions. I am sure it will be useful for other things too. You also need to install XCode from AppStore.
