Hello,
We already have a Java GUI application for editing check-in message on Unix platforms (using command-line SVN client with SVN_EDITOR environment variable).
Reason for such editor is integration with the issue tracking system (JIRA) and software release version tracking system (home grown).
Basically what the editor does is let us choose specific issues from issue tracking and/or provide more detailed information (like change severity, compatibility etc) for release version tracking (which later uses this information for version change lists etc) and then composes machine-readable check-in message which can then be handled by SVN server hooks.
Thanks for the hint about IBugTraqProvider plug-ins, in my case this probably could be used to achieve the desired functionality even without porting the existing Java application by simply launching it from plug-in.

for bug/feature/issue tracking you also can use a server side tools like
