This is probably a simple eclipse question but I’ve never been able to do it.
I currently have my project checked out from (non eclipse) cvs into c:/dev/MyApp
MyApp contains the following folders Source, exe, dist, build, classes. I dont want to change this structure because this is company file structure.
c:/dev is my workspace that I use in eclipse. I want to be able to create a java project that consists only of the source folder without changing or moving this folder structure.
When I try to do a new->java project->use existing code it naturally says “Cannot create project content in workspace.” because this code is already in my workspace.
I know the normal way of doing this is to create a repository directory and then create a dev directory and create a project in import the code into your project. If I do this, I’ll have to move my changed files back and forth to check back into cvs and run from a different location. Or I could just drag the whole cvs directory into eclipse but that adds the exe, dist, build folders as packages and clutters up eclipse because I’m only concerned about the source folder.
Once I make changes in eclipse, I manually double click on the build file in windows located in c:/dev/MyApp/Source/built.bat
How do I check in a new project with into c:/dev/MyApp then create this project in eclipse into the same directory?
