My observation (with Subclipse 1.6.13 and JavaHL 1.6.12 on Eclipse 3.7.1) is that Subclipse (even with the JavaHL connector) is able to cache the credentials if you create the repository connection in the "SVN Repositories" view.

When you create the the repository connection in the "Checkout projects from SVN" import wizard, the credentials will not get saved. In this case, they won't even get saved when recreating it in the "SVN Repositories" view until the next restart of Eclipse.

You can see if any credentials are saved by looking at the contents of the following folder: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Subversion (on Windows 7). When any credentials are stored, an "auth" subdirectory exists in this directory.
