[Subclipse-users] Checkout to existing project without deleting ?

Hi all,

Let me first thank developers and supporters of the great project. I am only
starting to use it, but it has great promises of improvement in the way I
work (on my GPL software).
I have found startup very easy. I did ran into questions about the best
organisation of my local projects and SVN repository. Search on this forum
only yielded very old and/or not exactly on topic thread, so here it goes :

- I develop extensions for the Joomla CMS. This means PHP/MYSQL and a Joomla
provided SVN server
- All of this works happily together :
PHPEclipse+xDebug+Subclipse+Joomlacode.org (Joomla extensions development
site)
- the various files for my comp are stored in SVN repo. The comp is made of
a few files, that once installed within Joomla, are located in 3 directories
: let's say /admin/my_comp, /components/my_comp and /modules
- For development and testing purpose, I have on my local machine several
instances of Joomla setup. Each instance correspond to a common user setup.
Each setup is made of many directories. Once installed, the various parts
of my comp resides in Joomla own directories /test_setup_1/admin/my_comp,
/test_setup_1/components/my_comp and /test_setup_1/modules
Needless to say, in /test_setup_1/admin/, there are many other extensions
that Joomla needs to work, or other extensions I want to have to test for
compatibility

- Now I thought I would be able to simply checkout a working copy from SVN
into the /test_setup_1/ Eclipse project, in order to get a fully working
Joomla install with my extensions

- but what happens (as it should, this is not a bug), Subclipse actually
delete the content of /test_setup_1/admin/ (and /test_setup_1/components)
when doing the checkout. It removes anything that is not in SVN, all
"unversionned" files and directories.

I can think of another SVN repos organisation that would work around this,
but it would be much less efficient and require a bit of work from me at
every checkout and commit.

So the final question : Is there a way to tell Subclipse NOT to delete
unversionned files when doing the checkout in an existing project, to
preserve my working environnement ? am I completely missing something ? how
do people developping extensions to an existing software organize themselves
?

Thanks for any hint and best regards
