When I import a “existing projects” based on .project(s) file I see my projects (Import existing projects into workspace). This is fine….

However, I have multiple difference views on the same set of projects (one for each defect I am fixing).

I want to import them into the same workspace to save the pain of having to set up all the associated stuff that goes with the workspace (database view, templates, JDK in use, ClearQuest Plugin etc.) OR create a template workspace that has all my “bits” set up…

👿 Currently I have to create a new Workspace for each piece of work and re-set up all my bits and pieces (Database view, templates, JDK that I use etc.) each time as I cannot import the same projects from another view into the same workspace. I have fiddled with import/export preferences but not much is exported as a preference.

I have tried fiddling with working sets etc, but to no avail.

Is there a way to do this.

Hmm, tall order. Can you try setting up one workspace, then making copies of it? I also have to wonder if you could just have all this stuff in 1 workspace, and setup working sets to manage your space?

I have tried working sets to no avail.
It appears you cant have the same named projects in the same workspace (at the root level anyhow).
I will try simply copying a workspace and see what happens.

You’re correct; there’s a limitation of only one project of a particular name allowed in a given workspace.

And the possibility of having an Uber “working set” that allows it?

Imagine you are working on a BAU project and you have 6 bugs (no make that 7!) to fix, on the same code base.
You are working on them all simoltaenously…
You have 6 “branches” in the code and will want to flick between them all the time as the BA’s send in responses to Q’s on their requirements…
You have set up you database access, templates etc… in one workspace… so will have to set them up in all the others as well…
You may be re-basing your code to other branches depending on customer/delivery schedule..
The machine only has 1 GB memory and switching from workspace to workspace takes AGES!

Feel the PAIN!

Each branch can’t be a project in the same workspace? Like:

Working Set #1
* Admin-BranchA
* CMS-BranchA
* User-BranchA

Working Set #2
* Admin-BranchB
* CMS-BranchB
* User-BranchB

and so on…

Copying the workspace worked (felt wrong but worked).
I now have an ever growing list of “remembered workspaces” that I can’t clean out.

hah, I still don’t know how to shorten that list either =(

I found this to shorten the list of workspaces
