the problem is that Eclipse does not support a directory layout where the 
project file is not the root of the source directory.

In my simplistic view it would be a simple
<root dir> tag in the .project file, and Eclipse would afterwards use that 
directory as root directory.

If something like that would be done in Eclipse, all those problems would be 
solved.
