In the SVN preferences when I select JavaHL 1.8 as SVN client library and then click on the Apply button then the selection for the preferred client flips back directly to SvnKit. Only when I investigate the messages.og now, I can see the following INFO (not even warning): INFO [org.netbeans.libs.svnclientadapter]: Javahl client adapter is not available Incompatible JavaHL library loaded. Subversion 1.7.x required. INFO [org.netbeans.modules.subversion.client.SvnClientFactory]: JavaHL not available. Falling back on SvnKit. INFO [org.netbeans.modules.subversion.client.SvnClientFactory]: svnClientAdapter running on svnkit So it would be great to have this as a warning message dialog/window popping up when trying to select such an incompatible library in the preferences (as well as mark this as WARN and not INFO in the logging).
