The fact that you had and used others tells me that it doesn't need to
be in the root.  And you've said as much to me yourself.

If it's specified anywhere, it'll be in the workspace.  Have you started
a new project or trying to fiddle with the old one?  I would suggest you
do the former; you need to make sure it can be worked on from a clean
environment anyway.  Besides which your existing project seems to be
very confused about CVS, given the errors you've showed me.

You can move it there locally for all I care, but the CVS copy should
stay in the resource sub-directory.  The build will deploy it into the
above directory.  I'm not going to waste any more time on such a trivial
matter, when there is real work to be done.
