there is a very good reason for doing this with jdk. reading the release notes for Subversion, it seems this is not necessary here:- | "Older clients and servers interoperate transparently with 1.5 servers | and clients. However, some of the new 1.5 features (e.g., merge | tracking) may not be available unless both client and server are the | latest version . There are also cases (e.g., sparse checkouts) where a | new feature will work but will run less efficiently if the client is new | and the server old. | | There is no need to dump and reload your repositories. Subversion 1.5 | can read repositories created by earlier versions. To upgrade an | existing installation, just install the newest libraries and binaries on | top of the older ones. | | Subversion 1.5 maintains API/ABI compatibility with earlier releases, by | only adding new functions, never removing old ones. A program written to | the 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4 API can both compile and run using 1.5 | libraries. However, a program written for 1.5 cannot necessarily compile | or run against older libraries." what's the reason you want to keep 1.4?
