Description

Whenever I select JavaHL as preferred SVN client and close the settings window, this choice is not saved.

I have tried:

• restarting Netbeans
• different versions of Netbeans
• SlikSvn and CollabNet/Subversion Client

There was a problem with SlikSvn that caused its version to be unparsable, but this was fixed in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-771

I must be missing something. I've tried searching for a similar issue but didn't find anything.

SVNKit isn't available, and CLI can't be used for "Diffing between revision trees", which makes this issue quite a problem.

Any ideas?
