TortoiseSVN may fit you if your dev. platform is Windows.
Integrates nice with Explorer & automatically processes added/deleted files.

I'm using it for non-Java projects. I use NetBeans+svn module+command line for

processes 'special' folders (.svn)? You should be able to exclude them from,
e.g., WAR.
