[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Shared workspace between Windows and Linux

["Marek Chovanec" <mareq@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

I solved this. I created two workspaces - one workspace directory (on linux 
hdd) or linux, second for Windows (on FAT32 hdd = rw access from linux and 
windows). Then I checked out project into windows workspace (FAT32) and only 
imported it into linux workspace. This means that the .metadata files are 
custom for each platform, but the project source files are the same.
