Here are the instructions to install Subclipse in the current isCOBOL IDE:

To explore an existing SVN Repository:
- Select Window > Open Perspective > Other... and SVN Repository Exploring
- Right click in the SVN Repositories view and select New > Repository Location
- Enter the URL for your repository. For example, if you created a repository with "svnadmin create c:svnmyproj" then you can enter the URL file:///c:/svn/myproj
- To share an isCOBOL project with others (i.e. check it into SVN), you right-click on the project in the navigator view and select Team > Share Project...
- Select SVN and press Next >
- Select the existing repository location (i.e. the one you added using the SVN Repository Exploring). Press Next > and take the defaults.
- Now when you right-click on the project in the navigator view and select Team you will see all of the SVN operations.
If your repository is on a remote system (e.g. a Linux VM) then the URL will be svn://hostname/repository where hostname is the name or IP address of your remote host and repository is the name of your repository.
