When creating a new project from sources in a pre-existing source folder, I have seen the package names prefix-truncated: the first one or more letters are removed. For instance, compling the JTidy package gives a message like: compiling idy... Compiling my own packages removes the first few qualifications (edu.gatech.disl.djb.log becomes disl.djb.log)
Which build was this ? Do you notice this in all progress dialogs or just the one during compilation ?
This was with build 20011206 stable (win2k, jdk1.3.1_01) I only noticed this in the compilation dialog, but I didn't look at many others
I did not see this problem in refresh from local (on my home machine -- Win98) It seems to only crop up when creating a new project and pointing the source folder to a pre-existing project (Something I do fairly frequently since I have set up eclipse on several machines, and I have been trying to follow the stable builds)
Was the project external to the workspace? If so then this problem was fixed a few days ago.
Yes, all of my projects are external to the workspace. Keeping the projects under the workspace is limiting; it seems especially bad for running eclipse over a network drive (if the network is not running at optimal efficiency, eclipse really really slows down when the metadata is not local)
Closed, fixed last Friday, Dec. 7th.
