I fully understand the problem, it's just the same with NetBeans. I find 
it unworkable to have project source on an NFS server.

I would recommend that you install sub-version, or some other version 
control system on the NFS server. Choose one which is well supported in 
Eclipse. I don't use use Eclipes so can't recommend the best choice. I 
use the SVN plugin in NetBeans, which allows me to work from home just 
as easily as from my desktop at work.

Keep the repository on the central server. Check out a working copy 
which is then local to your IDE. Perform regular check-in/commit as 
appropriate. You can then build anywhere you wish, just check out/update 
the latest copy on the build system (or any other previous revision) and 
build it. You also get added the benefit of full revision control, which 
is something I'd recommend for anyone.
