Question

I’m working with some people on a java project. Problem is, I’m the only one using eclipse. The source files are located in svn in trunk/src/*.java. However, if I import that as a project directory, the default package is “” instead of what the actual project package name is.

Is there a way to change that without changing the source location and the package name?

Thanks!

If you mean that you want code in package foo.bar without having a matching directory folder of foo/bar under some source root – no, I don’t think Eclipse supports that. While the convention of source locations having to match package structure isn’t enforced by the language specification, it’s mentioned there and so widely respected that I think it would be a bad idea to do anything else.
