Subclipse, the Subversion plugin for Eclipse, also has issues:
- Debian stable (sarge) and testing (etch) both have subversion 1.1.4.
  The new server, emu.freenetproject.org, runs debian stable.
- Subversion 1.2 is the recommended version.
- While Subversion is backwards compatible, Subclipse is not.
  Furthermore it is very difficult to upgrade subclipse once it has been
  installed, short of reinstalling eclipse.

What should we do?
