Yes, to use the build.xml files you need either the Repository layout or
some magic to make them work also in the Eclipse layout. I think it would be
better to use a separate set of files when running from within Eclipse (from
the Eclipse layout). It is most unfortunate that Eclipse doesn't have
built-in functions for configuring and running JUnit tests that are good
enough to make this pointless.
We did two moving around of the directories to make it fit with Eclipse and
they have taken us this far. For the next tool that comes around I am now
even more determined to say that if a software build tool (like Eclipse or
Maven) requires you to move around your code instead of being configurable,
the tool is broken and should be fixed before using!
