Statement of Purpose

It might be tough to find an native SVN client for several reasons:

• WANDisco only offer 32 bit binary
• SlikSVN does not bundle a jar with the dll

Procedure

Below are the steps to get SlikSVN setup ie. : how to find the dll, create a corresponding jar, and configure Fisheye to use them

1. Download the appropriate version from https://sliksvn.com/pub/ <- 1.8, 1.9 & 1.10 are viable options as per our supported platforms page. We will choose 1.9.5

2. On the Fisheye host machine, install SlikSVN with the msi/installer you downloaded in the first step

   •  After installation you will have the dll files in the following path: C:\Program Files\SlikSvn\bin
   • libsvnjavahl-1.dll is the file we will point Fisheye to in the configuration step

3. Do the following to create a corresponding jar file (instructions are for *Nix based systems/OS) 

   • get the source either from here or via svn checkout eg.: svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/tags/1.9.5/subversion/bindings/javahl/src
   • move into the src directory and create a sources.txt file: cd src && find . -name "*.java" > sources.txt
   • with java 8, compile sources using javac: javac @sources.txt
   • also with java 8 create jar file: jar cf svn-javahl1.9.jar org
   • copy jar to Fisheye host machine
4. Stop Fisheye

5. Update the path to the dll and the jar in the FISHEYE_INST/config.xml 

   <svn-config jar="C:\absolute\path\to\svn-javahl1.9.jar" jnilib="C:\Program Files\SlikSvn\bin\libsvnjavahl-1.dll"/><web-server>
           <http bind=":8060"/>
       </web-server>

When Fisheye has started you can navigate to Admin > Global Settings > Server > Subversion Client and click edit to confirm that native client has been loaded:
