I’m gradually converting a number of applications from Eclipse to MyEclipse Web Projects. I typically do this by importing an old Eclipse project and refactor/renaming it (without updating references) to something “old” – i.e., “project” becomes “oldproject”.

I then create a new MyEclipse Web Project called “project” and refactor/move all of the “oldproject” source folders to “project”.

Overall this works very well. The only problem is that I continually get a “Should referenced projects also be opened?” dialog box when opening the new Web Project, even though it has no referenced projects.

Is there a way to clean up the project and remove whatever it thinks to be references?

thanks!

I guess you adding a references somewhere while refactoring. Go to Project > Properties > Project References and make sure all projects are unchecked.

Also try cleaning your workspace using the -clean command:-

Hmm. None of the projects are checked in the reference dialog, and the -clean didn’t seem to help. Can you tell me which file within the project holds the references? Maybe I can edit it manually? Thanks!

dbakerwes,
This is just a defacto question that the Eclipse platform asks as part of opening projects. It doesn’t necessarily mean the project references anything. You can just hit that check box on that dialog “don’t ask me this again” and click Yes. That’s what I do.
