Question

I am working on a simple eclipse plugin.
I want to get details such as the time of last commit, number of different authors. Size in kb of the files.

I want to get these details programmatically. I am using google host svn. I am using subclipse plugin to access svn through eclipse. I am using java. How do I proceed to reach my objective?

Answer 1

Check out SVNKit and the wiki. For commit related info as you asked for take a look at the SVNCommitInfo class:-

The SVNCommitInfo class represents
information about a committed
revision. Commit information includes:

a revision number;
a datestamp when the revision was committed;
the name of the revision author. 

In addition, this class provides
anexception that, if a commit has
failed, has got a description of a
failure reason.

SVNDirEntry class is also useful for your purposes:-

SVNDirEntry keeps an entry name, entry
kind (is it a file or directory), file
size (in case an entry is a file), the
last changed revision, the date when
the entry was last changed, the name
of the author who last changed the
entry, the commit log message for the
last changed revision. SVNDirEntry
also knows if the entry has any
properties.
