I had some issues getting javasvn to work using the instructions at
<http://tmate.org/svn/subclipse.html>.

Basically, for me, modifying the plugin.xml file did not work. For
whatever reason, eclipse would load the svnjavahl.jar no matter what.
(First I tried editing plugin.xml as per the instructions, then I
downloaded the already changed plugin.xml). I also used the version of
svnClientAdapter.jar from the website, still no luck. (Using the hacked
svnClientAdapter.jar made it possible to select javahl in the subclipse
preferences, but any time you tried to do anything with subversion
exceptions were thrown).

Ultimately, I renamed svnjavahl.jar and copied (or symlinked, I forget)
javasvn.jar to svnjavahl.jar. After that, everything worked.
