I've found Eclipse to be great for checking out projects that are already
in CVS. It blows IDEA away in that respect. However, I'm finding that I go
back to the command line to setup a project and getting the framework into
CVS.

So I tend not to use Eclipse on tiny throwaway pieces of code. One
solution, which I'll get around to, is a 'Research' project :)
