If it's just about notifications, we use Jabber for that.

We installed Wildfire as a Jabber/XMPP server in our intranet and I
wrote a simple Jabber bot in Java (using Smack and Mina) that connects
to a Jabber Groupchat room, listens for incoming messages on a socket
and publishes the commit messages to the room (more or less just
pushes data from the socket through to the Groupchat).

The glue is done with a post-commit Perl script that simply uses
svnlook and sends the commit information to the Jabber bot using
netcat (no, indeed, it's not secure, but the bot runs on the SVN repo
server so who cares ;)).

The notification isn't sent to Eclipse though, we all run Jabber clients.
OTOH there's GOIM and ECF:
