How to import projects from SVN to Eclipse workspace with parent folders?

I installed Subversive SVN connectors to Code Composer Studio v6 (an Eclipse Based IDE for DSP Processors, everthing written is also valid for pure Eclipse). I imported a project with Import/Import/SVN -> Projects from SVN.

In SVN server I have the following structure:

Trunk of the SVN Project
Folder A
- Folder B
  - Project Folder
    - Project file (.cproject, .project)
    - Project source files
Folder C
- Some other source files

So when I import the Project, the other source files under the folder C cannot be imported from the SVN server. They are listed under Project Properties -> Resource -> Linked Resources as a filepath

PROJECT_LOC\..\..\..\Folder C and sources could not be found.

When I import the "trunk" (The folder just above of Folder A and Folder C) I manage to import all files to workspace, but this time Eclipse does not see my project as a project so I cannot build any of my sources.

When I use TortoiseSVN, I import the complete filesystem, then import the project without from the Eclipse without checking "Copy files to workspace", I have no problem. But this time, I cannot perform SVN operations upon Eclipse.

How can I solve this issue? Is it impossible to import projects with parent folders?

Solution

There are for sure reasons for this project layout but it really isn't eclipse's preferred one. You should better create a project for the sources in folder C. Then you can check out both projects in a defined manner and add project C as a referenced project in project B.
