Never used svnant, but I can shed some light based on Subclipse.
The username and password parms do not apply to an SSH connection. The
SSH client requires a username and password and the Subversion command
line does not offer a way to pass that information into the client.

Again, this is the SSH client prompting you. The username for SSH will
come from the configuration in the Subversion config.

If you started Eclipse from a console, the prompt for password would
appear back in the console. If you use a client that can do a GUI prompt,
then you would see it.

JavaHL uses the same infrastructure as the command line, so it would also
need to launch the SSH client. When you are running the script from the
command line it probably just isn't finding the JavaHL library or some
other required piece, and so it falls back to trying to use the command
line client.
