[news.eclipse.newcomer] Storing a workspace in CVS?

[Newsum@xxxxxxxxxx (Vincent Newsum)]

Hi,

We currently have a C++ build environment based on MSYS/MinGW and Linux,
using GNU make intensively.

Now, developers have to edit files using vi or some other exotic editor,
after which they have to 'make' the needed applications.

I would like to switch over to eclipse, and use this as a new development
environment for the other developers also.
This transition should be made such that the current build environment
keeps working (without having to use eclipse to 'make' the executables).

The current C++ build environment is stored in a CVS environment and
consists of some libraries and applications that use those libraries.

I would like to be able to store my workspace also in this CVS repository,
and have the projects defined in it to be relative to this workspace
directory.

This way, when checking out the full repository, I would start eclipse
using that workspace and be up and running.

Whatever I try, I seem not to be able to create a project whose contents
is located relative to the workspace directory.

Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
Or does someone have a suggestion of how I can create a workspace
automagically including projects defined in a checked-out CVS directory?


Thanks,

Vincent.
