I am sorry to say this, but that these things are not supported by
subclipse is not true. We use Tortoise and the subversion command line
tools for exactly the scenarios described without problems. Checking out
a project into a src folder is tivial (change to the src folder,
checkout). Having the src folder as part of the src tree is an
unsatisfying workaround that would clash with other IDEs. We do this all
the time and it's just not supported by subclipse. Technically, the src
folder is part of the IDE's fodler structure and independant of the
project itself! So it should not be under version control.
Similar argument for the "single file" checkout. Subversion lets you set
directory level access privileges so users are only allowed to read or
write part of a source tree. No problem so far: Generate the "higer
levels" of the source tree by hand and check out the tree there.
Tortoise does this without problems and we use a simple wrapper script
that even automatizes the folder creation part. So again, this is very
much possible with subversion.
I think the problem boils down to:
a) Subclipse should allow you to check out a source tree in arbitrary
locations, not only the project root (the turtoise plugin for example
lets you do exactly this - problem solved)
and/or
b) Subclipse should be able to recognize if parts of a file tree are
under subversion control even if some other application checked it out.
