I'm a ecb (and emacs-coding)-newbie myself, so take this with a grain of salt.

I've got this in my .emacs:


(setq ecb-source-path (list 
		       (list "~/projects/foo" "Foo")
		       )
      )

This will populate one of my projects in the directories buffer.

It should be trivial to change that to pass the current working directory 
determined on startup.
