When you dropped the files into Eclipse, you got copies of them in your
Eclipse workspace; it is those files that are being modified. I'm not
sure why you would expect anything different - it would be quite
counter-intutitive (to me) for Eclipse to have somehow made "links" to
the original files.
In any case, I don't know if PDT has any special features to support
what you want, but in general you could use a linked directory in your
Eclipse project that points to the "live" location. In your project,
when you create a Folder, click the Advanced button to see the option
for creating a linked folder. Also, in the Help contents, navigate to
the page Workbench User Guide > Tasks > "Working with projects, folders
and files" > "Creating linked resources"
Hope this helps,
Eric
