No. The plugin I pointed you to (and eclipse 3.1.x as well -- although it's 
not the default!) will not copy the directories, they will only link them! 
People have been able to do something like this for a pretty long time on 
*nix already, but it works fine on Win as well.

The only problem you'll have is when deleting files in eclipse... Eclipse will 
recognize deletion ONLY on the project where you deleted! This means that you 
must synchronize that project seperately.

Example:
You have a parent-project A, with 2 sub-projects B and C. When you delete 
files in C, you must synchronize (and delete) these files from that project 
with your CVS. If you synchronize the project from A, eclipse will tell you 
that your SCM has newer versions for the deleted files!
It has something to do with the internal remembering of deletions in eclipse, 
it is not an SCM-thing.

No, you will have your project checked out only once, and eclipse references 
ONLY the java-type projects. If you have more than 1 layer, you will probably 
have 2 layers with POM-projects and 1 with actual Java-projects. The plugin 
will then only reference these projects, but leave the actual source-code in 
the original tree.
