You are probably using SVNKit and not JavaHL as your adapter. See
this FAQ for details on how to get JavaHL working on Unix:

http://desktop-eclipse.open.collab.net/wiki/JavaHL

A nice thing about SVNKit is that includes a pure Java SSH client so
it can do things like prompting. The bad part is that it does not
work with an existing SSH client and setup you may have in place.
That is what JavaHL will do as it uses the same infrastructure as the
command line. The disadvantage to JavaHL is for users that do not
have this setup already.
