eclipse svn subclipse plugins

Can these two SVN clients collaborate? I have my projects checked out with Tortoise, but now I would like to be able to use the SVN functionality (mostly updating and committing) from inside Eclipse. But the Subcipse doesn't see the SVN status of the files checked out by Tortoise.

I'm doing similar with Tortoise and MSVS plugin Ankh SVN and it works great. But now I need it to work in Eclipse...

Thanks

They work great together.

The one caveat: Make sure they're both using the same underlying subversion revision! Subversion updates it's directories and reformats the .svn directories the first time you run a revision with major updates. What this means is that when you upgrade you have to be careful that both subeclipse and tortoise have released new versions with the matching underlying subversion updates.

Since I've been using both, there have been two updates that break the compatability with the underlying .svn directories, so do be careful!
