Re: [platform-dev] Should closed project behave like folders?
|
I don't see why closed projects becomes useless because you introduce
nested projects.
Those two things are complementary.
Why not just create a common navigator which you can mount file roots in (one default is the workspace)
and then it will just show projects when the resource matches a project ?
Your proof of concept changes the common rule of projects being at /<projectname> in the workspace resource tree.
If the thing you want (which I personally don't need, but I know others like) is to browse nested trees then
a separate File system based navigator seems to be more than sufficient.
Or am I missing something ?

True, but that's not very nice. I'm not trying to find a way to do it;
I'm more brainstorming about what improvements would make sense inside
the platform.
Temporarily removing a nature just changes the abilities provided on
that project (e.g., removing PDE nature turns the project into a
normal Java project), whereas closing a project removes it from
consideration.
So having a way to remove a nature would be a nice alternative to
closing a project.
You can delete a project without removing the content to remove it
from your project list. Does that mean closed-projects are useless?
As part of bug 245412, I've wrote a Project <-> Folder conversion for
nested projects, and it seems to me that it fits better to usual
development workflow than closed projects. Either the project is shown
as a project, with the natures working and so on, or it's shown as a
simple folder listing its resources. With this approach, I tend to
think that closed projects become useless.
