Can you make a little diagram of what your Eclipse workspace looks like? For example, one of mine looks like this:
/workspace |- Project1 |-|-.svn |- Project2 |-|-.svn And I have others where my Eclipse workspace folder is empty: /workspace Because all of my Eclipse projects are imported into the workspace and just pointing to working copies I have checked out elsewhere. For example. on my Mac I have Subclipse checked out here: $HOME/work/subclipse This contains a /trunk/plugins folder with a child folder for each Eclipse plugin project. My Eclipse workspace lives at: $HOME/Documents/workspaces/e3.7 The workspace folder is empty other than the Eclipse .metadata folder. This contains the pointers to all the projects I have imported. In other cases, I do my checkouts directly from Eclipse which leave my with a workspace that looks like the first example. How would you describe your working copy?
