Yeah I perfectly understand your point. You must have your reasons for your
strategy, but try to give "maven eclipse" a shot some time.

Maybe you already know this stuff but here is how I did. 

You have the apache/ as your root, right ? In Eclipse when u right-click on
a project in CVS to check it out, hit the "Check Out as" button instead.
Then select that u want to check it out as Java Project. Then u can select
the location where u want to check it out.

And the from command line go into your project folder (like
apache/Jakarta-turbine-fulcrum) and run " maven eclipse".

And then just refresh the project from within the IDE.

Rearranging those big projects in Eclipse is a big big big pain.

Now its hell lot better.

I usually prefer to check out from the command line and add my projects 
to Eclipse manually.

I made an apache folder which is my Eclipse project root, and the I 
check out projects beneath:

apache/
   .classpath
   .project

   jakarta-commons/
        ...
   jakarta-commons-sandbox/
        ...
   ant/
        ...

But this may not be preferable for you -- I don't particularly like 
Eclipse's CVS handling and I do work with other editors as well.
