How to keep different SVN working copies of the same branch in Eclipse? -

i have multiple svn working copies checked out. example, may have trunk-merge merging branches trunk, trunk-review review other people's changes, , trunk-feature1 trunk-featuren work started. these have same repository url.

if import 1 of these projects eclipse (kepler, build id: 20130614-0229, mac os), works fine. cannot import 1 because these have same project name , eclipse cannot handle that. switch between working copies, have close project, delete eclipse, , import one. eclipse takes 5 minutes scan, index, , compile everything. in older eclipse versions utilize symlink described in eclipse workspace/project setup using symlinks not seem work anymore on eclipse kepler (it resolves symlink when importing project).

i know utilize feature branches on trunk-featuren working copies, features not big plenty branch, , merging becomes nightmare.

i not want utilize svn switch on workspace because in many cases working copies modified.

how can switch between (modified) working copies of same project in eclipse?

if can't or don't want alter project name based on working re-create (admittedly, that's bit of pain), best alternative utilize separate workspaces. if you're not familiar eclipse's concept of workspaces, gist workspace logical container of projects , metadata (eg, stuff configure in preferences dialog). projects logically part of workspace not have physically located in workspace folder, although that's default location when creating new project unless tell otherwise. can import same project different workspaces, if want.

in case, recommend using file > switch workspace... > other... create new workspace in import different working re-create of project. can export/import preferences 1 workspace another.
