It will not work to have this mounted as an eclipse project because of the problems I explained before. If you are using eclipse as your CVS client, you will likely want this mounted as an eclipse project in order to keep info synchronized. If you are using a different CVS client, and regularly synchronize the whole project, it will work fine. > > The latter makes more sense to me. Thanks so much for your help.
