If your eclipse workspace and the htdocs folder are on the same machine
then you can just remap the home of the webserver to your workspace
directory by changing the config file for apache or using the windows
equivalent of a symlink. -mf

What Michael is suggesting is the best way to go, and works fine. You  
can also create an "external tool configuration" to run a script. It's  
much easier on *nix systems where you have bash, rsync, etc, but  
perhaps you could install PowerShell to achieve the same functionality.

This is especially useful where you have CVS checkouts of Drupal  
modules and want to copy them within a specific Drupal project for  
testing.
