In the CVS Repositories view, I can select a folder in which there is a .project file and Check Out. This correctly derives projects natures etc and correctly checks out the project, however the project name is set to the folder name that I checked out from, not the name as read from the .project file. This is a real nuisance for us as we have common directory structures for all projects, and so currently all projects try and use the same name. eg: Project |-Source |-.project |-.classpath |-com |-... If I check out at the Source folder level, Eclipse correctly infers project checkout details, but creates it in a project called 'Source' - and gives me no option to amend it during the Check Out process
Workaround is to use "check out as" and override the project name. You could also create a CVS module and specify the mapping from remote folder to local folders. Once the projects are loaded into the workspace you can also save a project set that will make creating a similar workspace easier for you and your team. We have no plans to address this in 3.1.
