Joe,
RTC interacts in the same way as you described.
It is fine to use iProjects with SVN, or any other Eclipse team sharing
technology.
Of course IBM has invested heavily in RTC and there is a lot of features
and synergy you will miss out on.

Those clients that are using projects do it slightly differently,
Richard. They tend to use an offline repository (such as Subversion)
and then they check out and commit directly to/from their project
folder. The repository is the official location of source code. They
use the i source files solely as temporary compilation containers,
pushing the source to the i only for compiling and testing. They leave
it on the host, but the golden version is in the repository.
The interesting side effect is that you can completely delete the source
from your i; you can always rebuild it from the repository.
This is not the IBM-recommended approach. IBM is pushing RTC. I was
involved with RTC back at the beginning, but I haven't take a look at it
in some time. I have no idea how RTC and projects interact.
Joe
The whole offline source thing seems a bit counterintuitive.
Would be nice to have a way to simply check out a source member copy and
work it offline and then commit just like SVN, but it's not quite that
nice..
Are you actually using offline projects today ?
If so, can you describe your process.
