The only downside of this approach is that I'll get a repository
location for each project. I have many fairly small projects in one
repository right now. Ofcourse I can set up a location for browsing
only. What would be the value for root url if I set up a project like
http://svn/repos/project/trunk. http://svn/repos/project would be the
root url right?

I understand, but it's also something specific for SVN since tags and
branches are organised that way. When we were on CVS we didn't have to
worry about the "right" structure because there was no need for it. Just
create a module and off you go. Since I'm looking at the task to
introduce SVN as _the_ source control for our java projects I'd like to
have it as easy as possible :)

But I'll try to create separate locations in Eclipse. It sounds more
like the way it should be done :)

Thanks for the help.
