No, you won't. Eclipse knows about SVN and has a separate perspective
for that. From the java perspective you say 'team->update' to update
your workspace wrt to the SVN that has been specified in the SVN
perspective. This enables eclipse to have a java perspective in which
the directories that the source code control system uses internally do
not take part in the eclipse-java development. And quite right too,
IMHO.

Is your project's repository not accessible?

I screwed up. I accidently told eclipse to use an SVN sandbox of mine
as the workspace directory. Doh!
