By default, eclipse copies *EVERYTHING* in the source folders to the build/output folder. Subversion keeps a .svn directory that contains tons of metainformation. Make sure you add ".svn" to the filtered resources list in Java->Build Settings->Output Folder->Filtered Resources. This greatly improves build time. -Jason xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Jason T.
