All Subclipse does is set the svn:keywords property on the file so that
the keyword expansion will take place. It is up to you to put the
keywords in your file.

Couldn't you use the Eclipse template feature to have it inserted in new
files? I guess that might only apply to Java but the tools for other
languages tend to have similar features.

You should probably set an auto-prop in your Subversion config file so
that you do not have to remember to add the svn:keywords property to your
new files.
