why eclipse doesn't come with bundled svn client -
eclipse deployed cvs client plugin default. why there no svn source control clients bundled default?
there's discussion sheds light on potential problems integrating various svn plug-ins exist eclipse.
from tigris' status of eclipse svn proposal :
one final factor in decision [to withdraw proposal] licensing. subversion plug-in going depend on either subversion's javahl library or svnkit pure java library. svnkit's license rejected eclipse, , in case of subversion planning review code before allowing use library. subversion has dependencies on libraries neon , bdb have licenses not typically accepted eclipse. had question whether able include javahl or svnkit our plug-in. again, maybe turn out not issue subversive.
so various licensing problems appears crux of including existing svn plug-in default.
