Answer 1

I installed subversion 1.7 and the java-hl bindings using homebrew by following the instructions here.

Specifically:

[sudo] brew install subversion --universal --java

Then linking the installed libraries in /Library/Java/Extensions so eclipse picked them up.

/Library/Java/Extensions $ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib
/Library/Java/Extensions $ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.jnilib

I found a solution (download from WanDisco instead of CollabNet) in this thread: Subclipse in Mac OS Lion shows "Unable to load default SVN client" error

Answer 3

Installing the binaries from http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download#osx fixed this issue for me.
