Description Aurelien Pupier CLA 2015-06-12 09:36:00 EDT

all projects are on the same level

it is the case for org.eclipse.e4.ui for instance:
org.eclipse.e4.ui
|-build   --> not a project, just a folder container
    |- eclipse-juno-parent
    |- org.eclipse.ui.update


in hierarchical view all projects are set as root project
Comment 1 Lars Vogel CLA 2015-06-12 09:47:24 EDT 
I think the hierarchy is based on the .project files. Adding Mickael for confirmation.
Comment 2 Mickael Istria CLA 2015-06-12 10:30:16 EDT 
the use-case you describe is how hierarchical view is supposed to work, so you are facing a bug.
Can you please provide detailed steps of how to reproduce, and check in your log whether something is listed?
Comment 3 Mickael Istria CLA 2015-06-12 10:39:33 EDT 
@Aurelien: in your screenshot https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=254371 , it seems to behave as expected (project->folder->project). Do you have any clue what would be a difference between those cases?

hum in fact it seems that you're pointing to the screenshot of another bug
Comment 6 Aurelien Pupier CLA 2015-06-12 10:47:25 EDT 
detailed steps:
- import all projects of org.ecipse.e4.ui (I use the Smart Importer in my case)
- go to hierarchical view
--> you can see the issue

Yes, but in this screenshot, you see that the hierarchical view works well with another project, even in a project->folder->project hierarchy.
Comment 8 Aurelien Pupier CLA 2015-06-12 10:57:03 EDT 
no on the other project it is a project -> project -> project hierarchy, there is a pom.xml at each level
Comment 9 Mickael Istria CLA 2015-06-12 11:01:49 EDT 
Hierarchical view doesn't care about pom.xml. It only understands projects in the Eclipse meaning of project (ie folder which has a .project)
Comment 10 Aurelien Pupier CLA 2015-06-12 11:05:59 EDT 
there is no .project in this folder because this is not a project, this is just used as a container in a git repository. I was reporting this bugzilla in order to support also when there is non-project folder in the repository hierarchy.
Comment 11 Mickael Istria CLA 2016-04-07 03:02:26 EDT 
@Aurelien: Is this something you can reproduce?
