RE: [platform-dev] Reuse of Workspace
|
JS,
There is an article on the eclipse site that explains how to upgrade eclipse without destroying your existing workspaces. I forget where exactly, but I used it during my upgrade from 1.0 to M2...
If your upgrading to F2 using a different base directory, then you'll have to use Mariano suggestion of the -data command line parameter. Incidentally, I have lots of different workspaces...actually I view them as projects. For Windows I just create a shortcut and adjust the command line as -data d:\projects\java\myprj. On my Linux box, I just setup a small one-line shell script ... "eclipse -data /home/me/projects/java/myprj &".

:Hi,
:
: I guess this issue is best addressed on the newsgroups.
:
: You can specifiy -data <workspacedir> to tell eclipse which
:workspace to
:use. If you haven't specified that before eclipse will have created a
:directory "workspace" below the installation directory, e.g.
:eclipse. So to reuse
:it, install the new version and let -data point to your old workspace.
:
: I don't know really, but it could probably happen that a new
:version will
:not be compatible with an old workspace, but I have never
:encountered that. I
:started with the first stable build in Nov '01 and kept the
:workspace since
:then while also upgrading the code to every stable build,
:including F2.
:
:Cheers,
:Mariano
