You can manually install the Subversive SVN Connectors by adding the update site http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/6.0/update-site/ (check latest stable update site here: https://polarion.plm.automation.siemens.com/products/svn/subversive/download) and installing the necessary packages, e.g. for native 1.9.x in Eclipse x86:

• Subversive SVN Connectors
• Native JavaHL 1.9 Implementation
• JavaHL 1.9.3 Win32 Binaries
