Subclipse is not involved in the password process, never has been. We
simply supply a callback that the SVN API can use to prompt you and
get the password you enter. Whether it is saved, and how it is saved
is up to SVN.

I use OSX and do not have any problems with this. I have to build my
own SVN binaries to use, but I use MacPorts for all of the
dependencies.

You could check the ~/.subversion configuration files to see if
anything is configured to not save passwords. Although since SVN
command line works I suppose it must be right. Maybe make sure
Eclipse preferences have not been set to point at a different location
for these settings.
