title: Using Eclipse for Intellij Idea projects
body: <blockquote>
    <p>I like Eclipse and I want to use it, the problem is that I can't figure out a simple and fast way to configure projects once checked out from svn.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>All projects I work with have several modules and are configured with a top folder which contains four folders: the build output, libs, main and profiles.</p>
  
  <p>In detail:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>libs contains compile libs, test libs and normal usage libs.</li>
  <li>main contains three folders: java (for sources), resources (for things like ibatis xml) and webcontent (for jsps, css, js, imgs and the like)</li>
  <li>profiles contains three folders: personal, test and production which are added to the build depending on the target environment.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>How can I achieve this using Eclipse? This is the only thing I dislike of this ide, I've always found difficult to configure a project the way I want (and not the way it wants :P)</p>
  
  <p>I was always told that Eclipse uses a very strict structure for its projects, but I can't believe there is no solution and I just have to stick with Idea. I want to work with something I like, I think this is fundamental.</p>
  
  <p>Also, do you think this is a good configuration for a project? 
  What if I just change it to my needs with a script that rearranges the structure after svn checkout?
  Will I have problems when committing files to svn this way? I don't want to change everyone's structure on svn.</p>
