Groupping you can do using Working Sets. Project Explorer view menu -> Configure Working Sets...
Then you switch to show working sets instead of project on top level.

I am not sure what are talking about selection relative to workspace - it has to be full path, but it can be anywhere in
 workspace (I think...)

Use "working set" to group project. See this Eclipse help page for
working set:
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc
.user/concepts/cworkset.htm

The new project wizard is common for all Eclipse project, not QNX
project specific. If you create a simple Eclipse project its location is
also default to the workspace root. The "Browse..." button does not use
workspace resource but file system resource that's why you need to use
the full path.

IDE store paths to projects in the workspace metadata. You don't want to
manipulate the metadata manually.

Subject: How to create a "project container" in IDE v.4.6?

I want to group several projects together in the Projects Explorer,
but can't figure how to do this in IDE v.4.6.

In Visual C++ we can create "solution folder"
containing several projects, for example

App1
Libs
  lib1
  lib2
Tests
   test1
   test2

"Libs" and "Tests" are folders.

Is this possible in Eclipse?

Also, when I create a new QNX project, it suggests the default location
in the workspace root. I want to place the new project in sub-folder,
but then the IDE prompts for the full path. It does not seem to allow
select location relative to the workspace?

Where the IDE stores paths of projects?

Thanks for any idea,

- S

Working sets do not look and work like subfolders in Visual Studio solution.
On the other hand, in VS you cannot select a subfolder and build it.
Need just to get used to Eclipse... 

We currently use subversion (latest Tortoise); planning to move to git or mercurial.

From the links below, it seems that backing up the Eclipse metadata and absolute paths are common problems:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/717247/how-to-transfer-eclipse-workspace-and-project-from-windows-to-linux-and-mac

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/950476/how-to-recover-corrupted-eclipse-workspace

I've found that the absolute paths are saved in common.mk.
Replaced them to relative, using the Eclipse(?) macros; it works
and seems to survive editing project properties.

Then, it may be indeed easier just to recreate the workspace and 
re-import all projects, as the valuable data is contained
only in QNX makefiles and .project & .cproject ?
