Perhaps it helps to check out the trunk so you have only one eclipse 
project containing the subprojects and then define the subprojects src 
folders as Source Folders (right-click subproject/src folder->Build 
Path->Use as Source Folder). This only works if the checked out project 
(from trunk) has the Java nature. If your trunk does not contain a 
.project file, you have to checkout with the New Project Wizard and 
create a Java project.
After you have configured your build path and included all subprojects 
src folders, you can checkin .project and .classpath to the trunk so you 
don't need to do that work again and can share your project settings.
