It really is a very bad idea to use the SVN GUI client from the application server. Although TortoiseSVN may be a script , it is still a graphical application, and an unexpected situation may cause a dialog on your server (and some tasks can always open a dialog).

This is much better than using the Java implementation of SVN, for example SvnKit - then you can work with a good Java API and your question becomes debatable.

Of course, there are several libraries that do this work. Personally, I would either go with SVNKit , or using Maven SCM (the latter is less powerful, but more portable).

It is probably easiest to use SVNKit , which is Java's own implementation of SVN, if you can get the version according to your -line command, if you need to split working copies between them.

This is licensed under copy-left-ish, but as long as you use the code on your own server and don't distribute it, this should be fine (but IANAL, etc.).

You can use SVNKit , a java library for interacting with SVN workspaces. It is used by IntelliJ and Eclipse plugins to support SVN.

If you do this at work and are not working on an open source project, I would move away from SVNKit. They call themselves open source, but will charge you if you use SVNKit for commercial purposes .

Another good option is Apache Maven SCM (source code manager). Documents are a little unstable, but it is really open source. Here is a link to their page with some SVN examples .
