Is there a way to specify where the .classpath file is located in an Eclipse project? By default it is at the top level of the project. Being able to change that location would be helpful.

A: 

No, I think there is no such way (other than change the source code).

How would changing the source code change where the .classpath file resides?

I assume he means changing the Eclipse source code.

While I am pretty sure there is no way to change the location of this file, you could set up your project directory in a location of your choosing (which is where the .classpath file would reside) and then link all the source directories from the location where the project actually resides.
