Simple answer: nearly all of our development is Visual Studio/C++; the java part
is just a small subsection of one project. I'm not hugely enamoured with
Eclipse to be honest, and in any case I'd rather use a single tool to interface
with the subversion repository

Aha, that explains why everything is going screwy. I think the easiest solution
would be to tell Eclipse to build in the source directory rather than creating a
subdirectory.
Thanks for your help,
