eclipse - 为什么Eclipse没有随附的SVN客户端

Question

默认情况下，Eclipse与CVS client plugin一起部署。为什么默认情况下没有捆绑的svn源代码控制客户端？

Answer 1

有一个discussion 揭示了集成存在于Eclipse的各种svn插件的潜在问题。

来自Tigris的Status of Eclipse SVN Proposal:

One final factor in this decision [to withdraw the proposal] was licensing. Any Subversion plug-in is going to depend on either Subversion's JavaHL library or the SVNKit pure Java library. SVNKit's license was rejected by Eclipse, and in the case of Subversion they were planning to review all the code before allowing us to use the library. Subversion has dependencies on libraries like Neon and BDB that have licenses that are not typically accepted by Eclipse. So we had some question as to whether we would be able to include JavaHL or SVNKit with our plug-in. Again, maybe this will turn out to not be an issue for Subversive.

因此，各种许可问题似乎是默认情况下包括现有svn插件的症结所在。
