How to set up Eclipse, Subversive, JavaHL and Ubuntu

1. Get Subversion sources from here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/subversion/1.5.0dfsg1-1ubuntu2

2. Unpack it:
tar zxvf subversion_1.5.0dfsg1.orig.tar.gz

3. Get the needed dependencies packages:
apt-get install libapr1-dev
apt-get install libaprutil1-dev

4. Install Subversion 1.5:
cd subversion-1.5.0dfsg1

./configure --enable-javahl --with-jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/
make install
make javahl
make install-javahl

5. Specify where Eclipse can find the new java classes you just installed (I have wrapped this in a shell script, but you can also put this in eclipse.ini):
/some/path/eclipse -vmargs -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib

6. Add Polarion SVN connector weekly update site:
http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/weekly-site/

7. Add Subversive weekly update site:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/weekly-site/

8. Install Subversive and your Native JavaHL Connector for Subversion 1.5 through the update tool in Eclipse.

9. Enjoy!

I hope I didn't miss anything important, since I wrote this after I successfully got it all installed.
