[Subclipse-users] Checkout and Create Java Project from Existing Ant Buildfile question / problem

We have a policy against checking IDE dependencies into our SVN
repository.

We use Ant to build, so we have build.xml in the repository. I would
like to check a module out of the SVN repository with Subclipse and
create an Eclipse Java project for it. The wizards appear to support
it, but I can't seem to make it work. I can request "Check out as a
project configured using the New Project Wizard." Through the wizard, I
can request "Java Project from Existing Ant Buildfile." However, it
appears the build file must be on the local file system. I can't select
the one in the repository. Copying the build.xml to the local file
system doesn't work unless the surrounding file structure matches what
the file expects. But Eclipse doesn't like duplicate project names.

I have managed to make something work, but it is a little ugly. I have
to make duplicate projects with different names, cut-and-paste .project
and .classpath files, adjust source and build paths, etc.

Is there a way to do what I need that I'm missing?
