It is clearly inferior. For one, it has no support for JavaHL. At least everything I can find on the upstream web site indicates that it only supports JavaSVN. Anyhow, what this means is that the only way to make use of ssh keys is by providing your passphrase every time or by having it stored in plain text on your hard drive.
This is because JavaSVN has no way to communicate to an ssh-agent. I have emailed the JavaSVN developers about it. AFAIK they have no intentions of trying to support ssh-agent because it is either not possible or too hard with JavaSVN. This means that if you want to use your svn+ssh repo in half-way secure fashion, you can't with this plugin. Probably better to stick with subclipse. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
