Re: [platform-core-dev] Creating the .project file *not* at root level..

[Michael Valenta <Michael_Valenta@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The approach you are trying to take
will not work for the reasons you have already found. Is it a requirement
that the project strucutre on disk be ofthe form you describe (i.e. are
people using Eclipse and IDEA on the same directory structure)? The reason
I ask is because, if the answer is no and you are using CVS as your reposiory,
you may be able to solve your problem using modules defined in the CVSROOT/modules
file or by using the ability in Eclipse to check out folders into exisiting
projects.

Subject	[platform-core-dev] Creating the .project file *not* at root level...

Hello. I posted this on the newsgroups, and did not
get any response. I have
been googling for a few days now.. no luck. Any help would be highly
appreciated:

========================================
Hello,

I am trying to create an eclipse project (.project) for everyone to use
in
our team: trying to convert some people from IDEA to Eclipse ;)

What I need is, to have the .project (and .classpath) files inside the
project hierarchy, instead of the project root directory.

For example: Consider a project, named "foo", files located in
c:\foo. I
have to create .project and .classpath in the folder
c:\foo\optional\ide\eclipse (in keeping with the standard
c:\foo\optional\ide\idea, and others)

Any ideas on how to do this ?

The main problem I am facing is that I cannot create a folder link to
c:\foo
(error message: Cannot create a link to c:\foo because it overlaps the
location of the project that contains the linked resource), and thus cannot
use /foo/fooroot/java/source, /foo/fooroot/lib, and other folders, as I
would have liked to. As a workaround, I tried to link the lib folder
directly:
<linkedResources>
                
<link>
                
                 <name>lib</name>
                
                 <type>2</type>
                
                 <location>c:/foo/lib</location>
                
</link>
</linkedResources>
and was able to use /foo/lib/foo-bar.jar in the project.

Another problem is that I am not able to specify relative paths in the
project file. If I were to change the <location> in above to ../../../lib,
the link does not work! I need this as everyone may not have the foo project
in c:\foo. I myself have it in c:\myprojects\foo

Any help / recommendations / suggestions to get this working would be highly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Ajay
