That is the textbook example of when svn:externals is perfect. I would
create a folder in my repository called "Eclipse Projects" and commit
project folders, including the .project and .classpath files to make
things easy. The project folder should have a property named
"svn:externals" with a value of:

src http://someserver/svn/trunk/project2
data http://someserver/svn/trunk/data

And an "svn:ignore" property with a value of:

testoutput

Then just checkout that project folder and you get a complete Eclipse
project. If you do not want to have this in the same repository, or
cannot, you could have a local file:// repository that contains this same
project folder. svn:externals can be used to pull in projects from the
same repository or a different repository.
