You may not be subscribed to the list, but you could still try looking
through the archives.

http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=users

For example, the question about the exception name you see has been
answered many times:

http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=3576

These recent threads have lots of info about JavaSVN and SSH.

http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=users&by=thread&from=359552
http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=users&by=thread&from=359347

Finally, see this message about a new version that is available to test
that likely implements everything exactly the way you wanted.
