Smart SVN: a traditional GUI client
Tortoise SVN: a windows only, Explorer (Shell) extension.

The .svn folders that subversion places in every folder are a nuisance in Eclipse. They may be copied from the sources folders to the bin folder.
Subversion will then think that the bin folders are revision controlled (and out of date).
To avoid this ignore the .svn folder in you eclipse projects. Do this by:
(right-click project) > Java Build Path > (For each source folder) > Exclusion Patterns: > add: > **/.svn/*
And Eclipse will no longer copy these folders to the bin folder.
Another alternative would be to use Git as a client, as it does not create .svn subfolders in every folder, see Git-Svn.
