Project structure in eclipse for SVN based projects

Question

I have a single folder project myProject with the structure as below on eclipse

myProject
- src
- web
- test

I have a SVN repository say ProRep and my project myProject under it which looks like below:

ProRep
- myProject
  - src
  - web
  - test
  - trunk
  - branches
  - tags

On checking out files from the SVN repository, using the path someurl/ProRep/myProject, the folders - tags, branches and trunk also get checked out. Is there any way to avoid this from happening. I want only the src, web and test folders on my workspace.

SVN per default adds the folders trunk, branches and tags to a project root.

So your structure could look like this:

ProRepo
- myProject
  - trunk
    - src
    - web
    - test
  - branches
  - tags

Have a look at this: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/doc/user/svn-best-practices.html and https://ariejan.net/2006/11/24/svn-how-to-structure-your-repository/

Does that mean I will need to create the folders of my project within the trunk folder? – Reema Sep 24 '15 at 15:07
Yes, that is the recommended way. – rekie Sep 25 '15 at 08:00
And then I should checkout using the link someurl/ProRep/myProject/trunk is it? – Reema Sep 25 '15 at 09:03

If you decide to follow this best practice, yes. – rekie Sep 25 '15 at 10:47
