Yes it is required.  My guess is that when you chose to install the
JavaHL adapter, the Eclipse dependencies handler simply grabs the
svnClientAdapter since it is required and available on the site.

Subclipse talks only to svnClientAdapter.  It is a wrapper layer that
abstracts the API so that we can swap in either JavaHL or SVNKit as
the provider.  It also does other stuff, but that is the main point.

It has to be installed, or else Subclipse would not be working.
