CVS view, right click on cvs project, and select "Check out as..." and click 
next to choose java project, enter a project name you know you've never had in 
eclipse ie: yaddayaddayadda, click finish.  Doesn't matter what you answer to 
the confirm perspective switch, immediately after that you will get:

The resource "yaddayaddayadda" already exists in the workspace. Overwrite?

This should happen, the resource never existed in my workspace until I began 
the check out process.

This is still occurring, and is VERY annoying whenever you are loading in a 
new project from CVS, which I do very fairly often.

Unfortunately, this is not as easy to fix as it should be and points to a 
bigger issue in how projects with a particulr nature are created (e.g java 
nature). The workaround is to commit the .project to the repository. Hopefully, 
we will be able to address this properly in 2.2.
