Subclipse 1.10 has support for the new 1.8 working copy format, which is the format used by the current stable versions of Windows tools like TortoiseSVN and SlikSVN.

Local repository compatibility between these tools and JBDS is very nice to have.

Unfortunately, this version of SubClipse supports only JavaHL, not SVNKit, because version 1.8.0 of the latter is still in alpha. And since we can't reliably use JavaHL (see JBIDE-14795), using 1.8.0 is out of the question.

Once there's a more stable version of SVNKit 1.8 that works with Subclipse 1.10, we can explore updating Central to include the newer version.
