If you are doing this at work, and are not working on an open source project, I would stray away from SVNKit. They call themselves open source, but will charge you if you use SVNKit for commercial purposes.

Another good option is Apache Maven SCM(Source Code Manager). The docs are a little spotty, but it is truly open source. Here's a link to their page with some SVN examples.

A simple way could be to run an svn command from Java. For instance you could run the command

 svn cat yourfile.txt > /tmp/yourtemporaryplace.txt

then have Java read the /tmp/yourtemporaryplace.txt. Even better, read from the process running svn cat yourfile.txt like in this question on java popen

You could also use a SVN client java library like svnkit

(PS I don't code in Java usually, just googled for you)

You need to look at SVNKIT, Subversion for Java. From there:

It supports

  • Repository access over http(s), svn, svn(+ssh) and file protocols.
  • Working copy operations - all are supported.
  • Repository administration: create, load, dump and replay operations.
  • Additionally to its own API, SVNKit implements JavaHL API.
  • SVNKit is reported to work on Windows, OSX, Linux, BSD and OpenVMS.
  • SVNKit does not require native binaries, it works out of the box.
  • Native Subversion configuration files are used by default.
  • Java Subversion command line client is part of SVNKit.
  • Latest SVNKit supports Subversion 1.6.5.
