Answer 1

You need to separate the executable from its arguments:

new ProcessBuilder("svn", "--version")

See the ProcessBuilder constructor JavaDoc for more details and examples.

Answer 2

It's because you're not using ProcessBuilder correctly. The Javadocs are pretty clear cut.

You can't pass the --version argument as part of the process name you're trying to invoke; that's not the filename of the process. Behind the scenes you're exec'ing a process directly - there's no shell involved.

ProcessBuilder svnProcessBuilder = new ProcessBuilder("svn", "--version");
