JDK or Java required for SVN 1.9

SVN documentation says nothing about Java/JDK requirements for running the subversion. Ref: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/subversion.html

do we need Java/JDK for running SVN protocol (Svnserve program). either install document or svnbook says java is required, but still i doubt if any of the svn binaries uses java or not.

  • Do we need Java/JDK for running SVN protocol (Svnserve program)?

    No.

    The instructions that you link to refer to an optional requirement for JDK 1.8, but that is only for building the Java bindings; i.e. the library that allows you to access SVN from a Java application. The SVN binaries don't depend on the Java bindings.
