Import Existing Project into Eclipse-Subversive

I like to checkout projects from svn using the command line, and then import the project into eclipse. Recently I tried this with Helios-Subversive and after importing, the project explorer indicated these projects were not 'Team' projects: no revision number or url was displayed next to the project name. The problem was mismatch in versions between svn command line (1.6) and the subversive connector (1.5)

The solution is Window>>Preferences>>Team>>SVN>>SVN Connector

Then select a SVN connector compatible with SVN 1.6.

The Project Explorer immdiately updated to show the SVN connection.
