Description Michel Choueiry CLA 2005-08-16 14:55:58 EDT
I have at work a project which consists of Java and C++ code. Both set of codes
are residing under the same root \dev\npt\release\base\src. Under 'src'
directory, there exist two folders, one for java and the other for cpp. I have
added the java folder to a java project and it is fine. Now I am trying to
create an another project for the cpp code but I got the following error:

"C:\dev\npt\release\base\src\cpp overlaps the location of another project: lpt_BASE"

The location of the java project is: "C:\dev\npt\release\base"

Is there a way to get these two types of project to coexist ?

Thanks. 

Michel.

Re-assigning to cdt-core.

Eclipse has a restriction that you can not overlap projects on the file system.
What you really need is a project that is both Java and C++.

Version 3.1 of Eclipse made lot of relaxation of the restriction that resources cannot overlap in the file system, here is problem analisys:
<ahref="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/inflexible-projects-problem.html">http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/inflexible-projects-problem.html</a>
and here the adopted solutions:

Should we hope that CDT will align and allow project file structure overlaping in the same way as eclips plateform in future releases ?
