It is completely managed by the adapter. If you are using JavaHL, then it
is cached using the normal Subversion techniques in the runtime
configuration area.

See: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06s02.html#svn-ch-6-sect-2.2

JavaSVN uses the Eclipse keyring to cache credentials.

In my experience, both adapters will prompt you if the cached credentials
are no longer valid. One thing they will not do is prompt you if the
credentials are valid, but you are not authorized within Subversion. So
for example, suppose you checked out Subclipse and supplied and cached the
"guest" login. If you later wanted to commit, it would just fail because
guest is a valid login, but not authorized.
