Hello,
I would suggest using reflection to load class that explicitly implements
JavaSVN's Prompt4 interface.
I'm using this approach in JavaSVN to implement Eclipse-specific
authentication cache - there is still comple-time dependency (though
build.xml checks for Eclipse libraries and will not compile dependent
classes if they are missing) and no runtime-dependency that may lead to the
JavaSVN failure in case it is used outside Eclipse.
