Hi,

I followed the instructions on:-

https://github.com/subclipse/subclipse/wiki/JavaHL-on-OSX

for installing JavaHL on an Intel Mac Monterey 12.3.1 using Homebrew version 3.4.10.

They didn't work, giving me the following error in Eclipse when I tried to use Subclipse:-

Failed to load JavaHL Library.
These are the errors that were encountered:
no libsvnjavahl-1 in java.library.path: [/Users/stephenhalsey/Library/Java/Extensions, /Library/Java/Extensions,         /Network/Library/Java/Extensions, /System/Library/Java/Extensions, /usr/lib/java, .]

The instructions say to run:-

sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib /Library/Java/Extensions/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib

but it seems that newer Mac Silicon installs Homebrew under /opt/homebrew and older Mac Intel (like mine) install under /usr/local/ (see https://mac.install.guide/homebrew/index.html )

The instructions on:-

https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/subversion

say to run:-

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Java/Extensions
sudo ln -s $(brew --prefix)/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib /Library/Java/Extensions/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib

and these work fine.

Can we please replace:-

sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib /Library/Java/Extensions/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib

with:-

sudo ln -s $(brew --prefix)/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib /Library/Java/Extensions/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib

to fix these instructions so they work on both Mac Intel and Mac Silicon?

Thanks

Steve.
