It would be great if the M2Release plugin would use the configuration described in this http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/maven-scm-provider-svnjava/wiki/UsingWithReleasePlugin link, so as a result it will access SVN by SVNKit it turn (which is Java-based and auto-downloaded by MVN). Hence, this would be no need anymore to install SVN manually on all build slaves!
The absolute last thing any plugin should do is change the behaviour of the build from what would be performed on the command line. If you want to use the pure Java provider you will need to configure it in your pom.
