I'm creating a project under eclipse that is to be shared by several developers. The instructions I found for creating an svn repository said to:

  1. svnadmin create /var/svn/draw
  2. create a directory with my project on the server, make directories under it including trunk
  3. put all code under trunk.

I copy in all the code, which is in src/ as usual for eclipse.

The problem is, when I check it out into eclipse, it's got directory trunk as well:

trunk/src/...

This means I have to change the project definitions. First question: Can I create a project, and administer it in subversion directly from eclipse?

Second: If not, how can I create the project in subversion so that its directory structure and eclipse project's are the same? Do I just have to initially create a trunk directory? Is there anything else I have to do?

What is the overall folder structure here? Are you just putting the code files in ./trunk/src/ and keeping other files related to the project outside of ./trunk/? This may be a silly question, I'm just trying to get a feel for your SVN experience here. The eclipse project shouldn't be aware of the ./trunk/ folder if everything in the project is relative to its own root path and ./trunk/ is that root path.

Thanks, It's obvious now, I should have specified the URL with /trunk on it, and I think I had forgotten to copy some .files to the trunk directory, since they didn't show.
Is there any way to just say "create a new svn repository out of this project at this URL?
Inside of eclipse? I don't know, I've actually never used it :) In my experience with Visual Studio I've generally made it a point to keep VS and SVN blissfully unaware of each other, as I tend to see source control as a more filesystem-based thing. Kind of a separation of concerns, I guess. It's worked pretty well so far. All the IDE knows is that it has a project open, it doesn't care if it's trunk or a branch or in source control at all.
Also, you're the first person to mark one of my responses as an answer. Thanks for the positive reinforcement!
Is there any way to just say "create a new svn repository out of this project at this URL? Yes: right-click on the project, team -> share
