        I'm running Eclipse 3.1.1, with Subclipse 1.0.3. Running through the same
steps on my repository, then creating a new project in Eclipse, it actually
figures out that it's an SVN-controlled project, so I've got all the fancy
options on the "Team" menu.

        Also, if you go through the SVN Repository browser (much like Navigator),
where you can navigate to the folder you want, right-click, and select
"Checkout...". That would do the same thing as doing a checkout from the
command line, then creating the project in Eclipse, except that Eclipse
already understands it's an SVN-backed project.

Hope that helps.
