But my requirement is to download entire project from SVN repository to my local directory Using SVN kit java code for source code analysis. So How can I achieve this. I have seen examples regarding reading files and directories not downloading projects. Please any one can help me

SVNClientManager is a part of old SVNKit API. As SVNKit developer, I would recommend you to prefer new SVNKit API based on SvnOperationFactory class (because the old API is implemented via the new one and for some API classes this API-to-API conversion caused problems):

final SvnOperationFactory svnOperationFactory = new SvnOperationFactory();
try {
    final SvnCheckout checkout = svnOperationFactory.createCheckout();
    checkout.setSource(SvnTarget.fromURL(url));
    checkout.setSingleTarget(SvnTarget.fromFile(workingCopyDirectory));
    checkout.run();
} finally {
    svnOperationFactory.dispose();
}

If you don't need ".svn" directories, use SvnOperationFactory#createExport method instead.
