Hmm... Actually, it should be possible in a different way.  During the install, 
colinux gets you to choose a windows directory to mount so that you have 
direct access (both read and write, if you want) from within colinux.  Kind 
of the opposite of what you are suggesting, but maybe I can make use of that 
somehow (although, I'm not sure linux will like building a project from the 
mounted ntfs partition).  

Even if I could access the linux partition directly, though, I'm not sure 
it would be very safe to have write access to an ext3-fs from windows.

I'll have to think about this one.  Would be nice if I could just get Eclipse 
working.  :-)  In the meantime, it's easy enough just to use some other editor 
(gedit for now) along with the commandline.
