I would appreciate it if some of you experienced Eclipse users would
give me some advice on how to  organize folders/files/projects under
eclipse.

Because of its Java orientation, Java-language projects appear to be
treated in a special way that does not apply to other languages:

I am used to structuring my CF/ASP/JSP/Perl/PHP code something like:

ClientA_Project
---Admin
-----Application.cfm or equivalent
-----DB Creation & Maintenance
--------Source Data
--------Create/Populate/Convert Programs & CFCs
-----Validation Testing
--------Semi-Automatic Validation programs & CFCs
--------Source Data
--------Results Data
---Support
------Flash fla
------OSA scripts
------Java source
---www (in sub folders as necessary)
------Application.cfm or equivalent
------Production Programs and CFC's
------Style Sheets
------_javascript_ source
------images
------Flash,swf
------Java applets
   *
   *
   *
ClientB_Project
   *
   *
   *

Then I have a series of non-client or project related folders such as

Examples
myCFMXapps
myJSPapps
myJavaapps
myPearlapps
CustomTags
UtilityPrograms

I have no problem putting a program, regardless of language, in any
directory or subdirectory

With eclipse, it doesn't appear that I have that flexibility.  To gain
many of the benefits, Java programs must be in a Java Project which is
created at the highest eclipse dir level

What if I have a project for a client that is mostly CFML, but does
contain a few Java (or other language) programs -- it doesn't seem
logical to promote these project parts to a top-level eclipse Java
project?

Some of my utility programs include parts written in several languages,
it makes sense to keep these all together in a sub-folder, rather than
promote the Java piece to a high-level Java project, or even promote
the sub-folder to a Java-Project?

How do others who use eclipse, Java, CF and other languages organize
their files?

TIA
