Eclipsizens,
I'm using Eclipse 3.2.0 (Windows and Linux). I have been programming a
Java app (J2SE) on Windows. I would like to program it on Linux, as well.
That is, sometimes I log into Windows and other times I log into Linux.
Sometimes I even switch computers, and I want my project to follow me.
So what I have done is:
- I open eclipse using: \path\to\eclipse -data DRIVE:\path\to\JavaProject
on Windows.
Therefore, I copied the entire JavaProject to my Linux environment. Now I
do:
- /path/to/eclipse -vm SameJavaVMasWindows -data /path/to/JavaProject
on Linux.
The IDE comes up with a Welcome screen, not my Java project as I would
hope. Is there some procedure I should follow in order to be able to do
what I want? Something reproducible, on a regular basis, as I'm wont to
hop from machine to machine fairly frequently?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. My guess is I need to include some
metadata which is located elsewhere than the Project directory.
