Re: [platform-ant-dev] Copying existing configs to use as project builders
|
Why does the config *have* to be in the project? The project builder could
be configured to say "run the config called fred whatever fred might be"
If a team requires the sharing of launch configs (including external tools
configs), they should be put in *a* project somewhere and loaded by the
lauch manager when the project is opened.

I was hoping to just gloss over that "not technically feasible" bit, but I
suppose I should explain.
The config used by a builder needs to be stored with the project so that
the
builder will stay with the project when it is shared. If the config file
has
to reside in the project, then we can't *truly* share the configs (files
can't be in two places at once). The best we could do is fake it by keeping
the multiple copies in synch. But this isn't possible. For example, say I
have projects Foo and Bar that share the same config. If I check out
project
Foo and edit the project builder, and my friend Bob checks out project Bar
and edits the other copy of the builder, when we check Foo and Bar back
into
the repository the fake synchronization will be lost.
Everyone (myself included) would like the by-reference solution to work,
but
it looks to be impossible.
