I have installed the latest Eclipse (Kepler) into a new directory and can no longer access my repositories through Eclipse.

As far as I can tell, I've set up everything properly after 2 days of trying to fix this.

No! You can't have your repository Well yes, everything you need is installed What connector?

wtf?

Should I just ditch the supposedly better, newer Eclipse and go back a step so I can at least work?

I've never had this problem in Linux, but I recently had it in Windows. This is what I did:

  1. Go to http://www.polarion.com/products/svn/subversive/download.php
    (the link that Dollyn posted)
  2. Under the latest Release, copy the Subversive SVN Connectors URL
  3. In Eclipse, go to the Help menu → Install New Software...
  4. Click Add...
  5. In Location copy the URL for the Subversive SVN Connectors
  6. Click OK
  7. Check Subversive SVN Connectors
  8. Click Next, and then follow the instructions to complete installation
