Sharing a project with Eclipse

I've tried to use Eclipse with CVS, but I'm not so happy with it.
Whenever I want to share my project it always inserts the project-name
before the source-tree.

Maybe it's a matter of taste, but I don't think project information
should be part of my source-tree. The package-structure already
sufficiently identifies the location of my sources. Moreover I may
want to define different projects containing different sub-sets of my
source-tree. This seems impossible with Eclipse.

What I want basically, is the 'working directory' and 'relative mount
point' options of NetBeans. Any way to do this with Eclipse? As I have
it setup now synchronization doesn't work and I need to use an
external tool to do CVS stuff.

IMHO this is generally bad practice. If you need parts of your sources in
different location this is a strong hint that you in fact have several
different components. Then you should have several different source trees
in the first place.

Personally I've found Netbeans' CVS support quite akward, but apparently
this is a matter of taste...
