How to install Subversion JavaHL library with homebrew in 2021?

Question

I'm trying to use Subclipse on MacOS Big Sur with the JavaHL client.

I installed subversion via homebrew: brew install subversion

I tried to follow the instructions on the Subclipse project page.

But I cannot find libsvnjavahl-1.dylib anywhere after the installation.

One outdated blogpost instructs to use homebrew options, but the current homebrew formula for subversion does not support the mentioned options.

Update: Is this maybe because I am on Mac mini M1?

Answer 1

I just used the instructions here: https://github.com/subclipse/subclipse/wiki/JavaHL-on-OSX

Specifically:

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Java/Extensions
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib /Library/Java/Extensions/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib

Worked just fine, YMMV.
