We have a project root like this: <root> com acompany product1 product2 doc diagrams test src product1test product2test Source roots are both "test/src" and the root with packages from com/.. (yes, I know this com at root is stupid, but it is hard to change when it is in cvs). We either specify src at <root>, and get packages/listings of ALL files (including doc), or do a trick by making a src-directory under root, and making a synlink inside it to com. The second solution works ok, but the cvs module complains of duplicate entries, and actually deletes files (should never do that)! Solutions: * Allow us to specify both project root as source folder as well as other folders (like test/src), and don't show folders which does't contain source files (.java-files). Alternatively better specification of working sets (show packages as tree) * fix cvs module so that it doesn't delete files!
Now, you could use exclusion filters too, to obtain a project Product1: If you create project Product1, using <root> as your source folder, and exclude "com/acompany/product2/" from it. This will allow you to filter out product2 portion. -------------- Also, you could have your sources be in an arbitrary location, and use linked resources to point at them (~ Eclipse symlinks). Imagine your source tree is in: /sources/com/acompany/product1 /sources/com/acompany/product2 You could create project Product1 inside your workspace, and have it point at external sources using a linked folder 'src' (mapped to external '/sources' folder). Then using an exclusion patterns on the source folder (exclude "com/acompany/product2/"), you will get to see only the relevant sources. Does this work for you (you need a fairly recent integration build).
Ok to close?
No, please wait until I have tested the soluton.
Any progress ? What about I close this defect, and you reopen if you see a problem ?
ok
Closing
Seems this is solved in the new versions.
