Did you try specifying localhost:7777 ? SVNKit uses its own pure Java
SSH client so it would not be aware of any other configuration you
did.

If the command line works, I'd suggest using JavaHL as it will use the
same SSH client as the command line. If you use ssh-agent to manage
your passwords it works better. Otherwise, you need to start Eclipse
from a console so that the SSH authentication prompts are accessible.
That is the advantage to using SVNKit.
