If you experience any problems with JavaSVN please do not hesitate to report
them to support@tmatesoft.com or, even better, post a bug report to the
issue tracker that you may find at http://tmate.org/tracker/
Thanks!

As far as I know checking out "root" URL is not supported by Subclipse right
now. I think that technically it is not too difficult to support checking
out directly from the repository node context menu, so if there will be
enough demand (see attached letter from this newsgroup) this feature
probably will be implemented eventually. However, I'm not a Subclipse
developer, so I'm not sure about it :) but filing a feature request probably
could help :)

This sounds like what you would see if you right-click on the repository
(which is also what you said you did). You need to expand the repository
so that you can see the contents. Then you should be able to navigate to
your project folder and right-click to checkout. I suppose if you loaded a
project directly into the repository root, with no parent folder at all,
you would have to do the checkout another way. That doesn't sound like a
scenario worth supporting.
