Hello Mark-
I have the same problem, and this is, I believe, due to a basic
misunderstanding about compatibility of older clients with the newer
*server*, versus compatibility of older clients with *local sandboxes*
created with a newer client from the newer server, then accessed with
Subclipse (and RapidSVN, for that matter).
Once the .svn/entries files on the local copy get changed from the old,
pre-1.4 xml format to the new, 1.4 format, Subclipse is no longer
compatibile and you will get the error message Kristian refers to. I can
confirm this same behavior on OS X and Win XP.
So yes, there is sever compatibility. If you only use Subclipse to access
your local working copy, you are fine. However, if you use the 1.4 CLI to
access the local working copy as well, it will convert the .svn/entries
files the first time it runs, and Subclipse barfs.
I use the svnant task and I was finally able to get things to work by using
the version 1.1.0-RC2 version, and then remove the ganymede.jar, javasvn.jar,
and javahl.jar, and set the javahl attribute in the svn task to "false" in
the build script, which forced svnant to use the command line interface
which is installed on the box.
It would be nice to see this get cleared up. Hope this helps sort it out.
