Re: [ptp-dev] eclipse settings folder

Ah yes, that makes sense since just running a tool would require creating that folder to communicate back with Eclipse.

What made me think of this was the fact that I had to remove .eclipsesettings to get the new resource manager framework to work properly about 2 weeks ago and I was wondering if it would be safest to remove it again before testing RC1 to get good results. However, from what you said it seems I should never have had to manually remove the folder since Eclipse-PTP should have copied a new version over and overwrote the old one. Does it simply copy over a new tar and unzip (so any package change would not remove old stuff)?

It makes me wonder if there is a better way to manage the monitoring side of things since I could see using two different versions of eclipse with different LML drivers and they keep overwriting each other and causing issues (e.g. older stable version used for a demo, newer version used in development).

Chris,

You need access to .eclipsesettings even if synchronized projects are not being used, so it can't really be tied to them.

Currently we check the size of the tar file and send a new copy if they differ. I chose the size because it is easy to test without running a command, but this could be made more robust by using a version number in the file name, or a hash, or something else like that.

I know it would take more disk space, but I wonder if it would make more sense to put .eclipsesettings inside the remote directory that gets created when you create a synchronized project instead of putting it in the top level directory of user_home. This would prevent conflicts if you use different versions of eclipse with the same remote machine. It seems like it would be easy to have issues simply because you are using multiple versions of eclipse that expect different LML drivers.
