Hello Jason,
With "low-level" API (i.e. SVNRepository) you may use
SVNRepository.testConnection() method.
If you'd like to take advantages of the higher level API, the you may
use SVNWCClient.doInfo(url, SVNRevision.HEAD, SVNRevision.HEAD) - using
repository root URL as a parameter. You have to make sure that you do
have read access to repository root, otherwise you may get
SVNAuthenticationException on doInfo(...) call.
Another problem might be timeout - in certain cases call to doInfo or
testConnection() may take long time and then fail with timeout
exception. You could nothing about it, but you may change timeout values
by extending DefaultSVNAuthenticationManager and overriding
getReadTimeout and getConnectTimeout methods. Then use this
authentication manager either for SVNRepository or with SVNClientManager.
