This is impossible to do. Eclipse automatically hides "derived" files
from Team providers. The compiler marks the files it produces as derived.

This is also a terrible idea in general, and I do not think it will work
even with TortoiseSVN -- unless you do not use Eclipse at all. Whenever
Eclipse does a full build of your project it will delete the folders
beneath the classes folder. This will delete the ".svn" folders that
contain the Subversion metadata which means that TortoiseSVN will not be
able to do anything with the files either.

You would be better off running an Ant script on the server to build your
project when stuff is committed.
