Several things to keep in mind: 1. Eclipse will let you specify a class folder but it has to exist inside one of the projects in your workspace. Right click on the project, select Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > Add Class Folder.
2. Eclipse 2.1+ will let you link any folder into a project, similar to Unix symbolic links. Right click on the project, select New > Folder > Advanced > Link to folder in the file system. Fill out the alias folder name and the real path name. 3. The default location for creating new projects is your workspace. However that's just the default; new projects can be created anywhere on the file system. It gives you the option when you select File > New > Project and pick a project type. For example you could have your workspace be on a local drive, and all the project directories on the network. 4. The default workspace path can be changed with the -data command line option. The combination of all these things should allow you to place your files pretty much wherever you want. It would be nice if in (#1) Eclipse would let you specify an "External" class folder. Then you could skip the linking step. There's actually a setting for adding an external class folder at run time (in the launch configuration) but it doesn't help you at compile time. Might be worth putting in an enhancement request if it's important to you.
