svn:// will determine the author based on the credentials provided. I
would say that user wangjx is picking up cached credentials that have
your username and password. Given that the command line works
correctly (and JavaHL shares the same credentials cache as the command
line) then they must be using SVNKit. SVNKit caches credentials in
the Eclipse .keyring file. This is normally stored in the
configuration folder. Perhaps you zipped up your Eclipse installation
and shared it with others, or perhaps you are all using the same
installation? If it is the latter, then there are a bunch of command
line options you should be using when starting Eclipse so that each
user has certain files stored in their home folder.
