Hi Chris I'm a long-time user of Subversion, and before that CVS, for source code control, mostly for Fortran. I've never really got to grips with Eclipse because it has rather flaky integration for Fortran, so I thought that WW might be a way to get some more knowledge of Eclipse and to put my Mathematica stuff under SCC. Theoretically it should work just fine, since notebooks have an all-text representation in both nb and m forms. Not sure I want to pore over a diff of a versioned nb file mind you. As for importing existing projects and files, there are some instructions on this on the page on the link in my original posting. I've tried it once and it worked fine. I think I have all the same questions as you, and as soon as I get some experience I'll start shring the answers.
