Command line client adapter is not available

I'm using Suse 9.3 / Eclipse 3.1 / Subclipse 0.9.32
and / Java SVN 0.91

I installed Subclipse using the update site, restarted
my workspace, and then installed Java SVN from the
update site. Eclipse crashes intermittently. I can
connect to my repository using
http://www.mysite.com/repo/project and even check out
1 or more projects. But I often crash with the
following error:
JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/usr/bin/java
-Xms160m
-Xmx512m
-jar /home/me/develop/tools/eclipse3.1/startup.jar
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch x86
-launcher /home/me/develop/tools/eclipse3.1/eclipse
-name Eclipse
-showsplash 600
-exitdata 112800d
-vm /usr/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xms160m
-Xmx512m
-jar /home/me/develop/tools/eclipse3.1/startup.jar

It looks like it is not properly using Java SVN based
on the stack trace as I don't see any reference to the
tmate packages.

Looking through the past logs, I see:
> Do you have subversion installed?
> Subclipse needs subversion to be installed.

and

Any assistance is appreciated.
