the eclipse projects are underneath trunk/eclipse/samples The samples don't have the GWT nature set for GPE to know that they are GWT projects. This is partly legacy and partly out of concern for those that don't use GPE. Thought there has been some talk about modernizing them (read: GPE'ifying them) recently.
