This issue is due to mismatch of subversion dependency with svn-tag plugin. The latest SVN-tag plugin version 1.18 is dependent on 2.2 version of Subversion plugin instead of 2.5 version.

Following steps resolved the issue for me:

1. Downgrade the version of Subversion plugin to 2.2 version http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/subversion/ .
2. Checkout SVN Tag plugin source code and edit pom.xml to to use 2.2 version of Subversion plugin instead of 2.5 .
3. Rebuild the SVN tag source code using mvn clean install command .
4. Place the generated svn-tag.hpi file to $JENKINS_HOME/plugins folder
5. Restart the Jenkins instance .
