Description Deepak Yadav CLA 2018-04-16 01:40:02 EDT
My requirement:
1) I have created a sample project configuration and a workspace.
2) I want other uses to use a copy of this workspace and project settings as base. i do not want users to do "Import" project from menu.
3) I want other users to execute a script to launch eclipse:
   a) Script copies the complete workspace and project settings into the user area.
   b) Script should change the project path and source location path in the user area.
   b) Now, Users can not edit the original project settings.
   c) User can change the copied project settings only.
   d) User will be able to open eclipse on the new copied workspace and project.

3) Eclipse should support some batch mode to do such things:
   a) Eclipse configuration files should be very simple and documented - So. that the project paths and code source locations can be changed easily using a simple python script.
   b) or some other command line way to do such things (without opening Eclipse Window). 

This will make other users to launch eclipse easily without learning about project setup and its detailed settings.
