Thanks, You are right, it is an Eclipse issue. And it is really not a big issue. I use two IDE's, NetBeans for Java development and Eclipse running TBC. Both IDE workspaces point at the same TBC projects, so if I alter the physical file structure, I have to re-orient both workspaces. NetBeans allows me to directly edit the project locations, whereas TBC Eclipse does not (unless you want to get intimate with the .metadata/plugins directory). Next time I do this, I will do the re-org from inside Eclipse/TBC using the 'Move' command and then edit the NetBeans side (instead of re-organizing the file system)
