Check out the website link I sent, there is documentation.
A short summary would be that the tool aims to generate a svn dumpfile
with complete revision history from your archive files which you then
svn import into a fresh repository.
Note: the conversion process can take hours (obviously depending on the
size of your archive).

svn and the tool are fairly agnostic to the file contents so there
should be no JAVA specific issues, only corruption in the VSS
"database"...
