rebuild world

[Troy Daley]

I'm using eclipse with subclipse (the Subversion plugin).  There is an
option to use JavaHL bindings (macports port subversion-javahlbindings) to
call out to the subversion client on your machine, rather than use the pure
java client which we've had speed issues with.  Normally, the plugin will
detect JavaHL and present it as an option.  This used to work for me, but it
stopped working some time ago as I updated subversion and
subversion-javahlbindings.  While svn works fine from the command line, and
all of the expected libraries are present and in the correct place for the
subversion-javahlbindings project, it still doesn't work.

I spoke to the subclipse maintainer and he agreed that everything appears to
be in the correct place, but it looks like the subclipse code is having
problems loading those libraries.  He hyphothisised that it may be due to
dependency issues with the bindings package.  Now it so happens that I went
through force removed inactive packages and I wondered if I had broken
something.  So I just wanted to go back through and rebuild everything to
guarentee that dependencies weren't an issue, which is why I was asking
about a sanity check or a rebuild world command.

I doubt that this is a macports issue at all, and I don't expect this list
to help me with eclipse issues, which is why I didn't elaborate in my
previous email.  I was just hoping to rule out macports as an issue in this
case.

Thanks,
troy
