This has been requestes and discussed at length. Unfortunately, it is
not a trivial issue because Eclipse projects need to be self-describing
and thus the .project file (and its friends) needs to be in a consistent
(non-configurable) location.
Here are some bugs I found relating to this issue; feel free to
contribute your own comments or votes or, even better, design ideas and
code patches:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=76695
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=78438
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=42875
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72301
Hope this helps,
Eric

You can locate these files in a directory other than the root by using
linked resources. Create your project in the projectroot/workspace/eclipse
directory. Define a Path Variable
(Window->Preferences->General->Workspace->Linked Resources) to point to the
root of your project (this allows relative positioning on each developers
PC). Then use the Advanced section of New->Folder to expand on the Path
Variable to point to your source directories.
The .project, .classpath, etc files will then be stored in the
projectroot/workspace/eclipse directory but you will still be able to share
the projects.
Tip. to set enterprise wide project settings select the Enable project
specific settings on the Properties page for your project. This will save
the settings in a .settings directory in your projectroot/workspace/eclipse
directory. You can then check them into SVN and everyone who checks the
project out will have the same settings. You can copy the .settings
directory to new Eclipse projects when you create them to keep the settings
consistent across projects.
