After four weeks of vacation, it takes some time to get started again, but I will give it a try 🙂

Lately, I have been writing a couple of small applications integrating with different tools, such as ScrumWorks, Mantis and Jira. Now the time has come to Subversion. SVNKit 1.2.2 was released recently this year, so I had to try it out.

SVNKit is a pure Java toolkit that implements all Subversion features and provides APIs to work with Subversion from within your Java application. I have only had time to play around with the SVNRepository class so far. The API is pretty straigthforward and easy to use. For my use the performance is OK, but it is maybe a little slow if you have a user hanging over your shoulder waiting for response…
