You _should_ just be able to import the same project in each version (ie 
 the two versions of Eclipse are working with the same physical copy on 
disk). I have not really tried it since a bit after M4 came out, but I 
was using the 2.0 and 2.1 stream on the same projects simultaneously. 
Even now, I am using M5, while other people on my team are using 2.0.2...
