Eclipse Galileo and Subversive Install

have to admit I was very frustrated with the fact that I could not get Eclipse Galileo working with Subversive for two days. Particularly, as I'm not a huge Subclipse fan. But alas, I did get it working after reading a post on the Subversive news group.
  1. Install "Subversive SVN Team Provider" from the Galileo Update Site.
  2. Install "SVNKit 1.3.0 Implementation" and "Subversive SVN Connectors" from the Polarion update site at http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/.
I did not have success installing the SVNKit from the SVN Kit site (http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.3.x/) even though it has JNA integration and should perform better.

The part I dislike the most is the reason the SVN Connectors and SVN Kit for Java HL aren't included in the Eclipse update site is a licensing incompatibility. I have to admit it's times like these that open source shoots itself in the foot with licensing.
