I apologize in advance, as this seems to me like it must be a fairly-frequent
question. However, the only ways I could thing to phrase it for either the
Eclipse help-system or various search engines were all too vague to produce
helpful results.
I start up Eclipse with the -data option on the command-line to define my
workspace area. I (plan to) work in Java, Perl, C, C++ and C# using Eclipse.
When I create a new project, Eclipse wants very much to create the project
directory immediately under my workspace area. I want another level of division
there, for the various languages. But when I try to specify an explicit
directory by navigating down through "java" and then to the desired target
area, the wizard tells me that "Project contents cannot be inside workspace
directory". I have a similar problem if I try to import an existing code tree
under the workspace area.
Is the only solution to use a whole different area for Eclipse and import my
existing code from adjacent directory structures? I'm really pleased with
Eclipse overall, and would like to adapt most of my current projects into
relevant projects within the applicable views (I've installed the Improve
group's C# stuff, the CDT package and the EPIC Perl plugins). I may just be
overlooking some obvious detail, but this is eluding me.

I think you can do what you want with linked resources by creating a Java
Project and using source and output folders for the project. These Eclipse
folders can be linked to external folders. Here is what you would do to
link the source folder for a project, "JavaProject1", to an external folder:
Open the Properties file for the Project.
Under the Java Build Path --> Source tab, click Add New Folder. This opens
the Source Folder Dialog.
Click Create New Folder. Enter "src" in the text box and then click
"Advanced"
Check off the "Link to folder in file system" check box. And click
"Browse".
From this dialog you can create the external structure you want (e.g.,
create a "JavaProjects" folder, then create a "JavaProject1" subfolder, then
create a source folder for the project) or you can point to an existing
folder somewhere.

Without any guarantee, you may try this plugin
(Project Set support)
http://www.ejbprovider.de/homepage/index.html
It is in my list of plugins to test, so I never tried it ;-)
