Question

Is there any way to make subclipse checkout a repository into a non-root folder of a project. In particular, I want to checkout into folder src/wavedev rather than just to the project root.

Answer 1

Not sure if this is a solution to your situation, but you could use SVN:Externals

The SVN:Externals property lets you checkout an external repository within your current repository. Changing code in this external repository will update in your current project and changing code in your current project from the external repository will commit to that repository.

To set the external property in subclipse:

right-click your root foolder
select team > set property
From the property dropdown select "svn:externals"

set the value to:

src/wavedev  http://svn.yourrepository/wavedev

As far as I know subclipse uses the same .svn folders as the svn commandline tool or for instance tortoisesvn. So if you can’t get it to work with subclipse you could try this workaround
