I posted this as a reply to a different message and have since realized that was probably a bad idea, so sorry for the re-post.

Anyway, the situation I have found is that I am consulting at a company that uses NetBeans. All of the projects are in CVS. I have shown them the eclipse/MyEclipse setup (that I LOVE btw).

Anyway I think they like it too, the problem is we need the projects to be structurally (sp?) exchangeable through CVS.

The one problem that I think I am having is this:
In MyEclipse I would have a src directory and a web directory. The src of course builds into web/WEB-INF/classes. Blah blah ‘nough said we are all familiar with that part.

The NetBeans folks seem to think that the root of the project should be the root of the web folder. And that the sources should go into WEB-INF/classes. I personally don’t like that setup — but I am a consultant and would like to get them to switch over to your product. Anyway they have doesn’t of projects so changing there project structure is really just not an option. So….

Anyway – the no source folder/set source and build the same (WEB-INF/classes) is easy enough.

The problem I am having is I cannot seem to set the web root folder to the root of the project. When it gets populated with a / or nothing (when I select the root folder MyEclipse-Web properties) it won’t let me exit and save out of the dialog — I am forced to cancel.

So my questions are these: Is this a bug, or is there a really good reason for this? Can this be changed? Can I help?

Thank you,
Geoff Ruscoe

This configuration constraints you encounter are documented here:
http://myeclipseide.com/enterpriseworkbench/help/index.jsp

Some of them are Eclipse constraints and some were to accelerate delivery. There is a development plan in place to provide a much more flexible project structure. No ETA for delivery but management wants it soon.

It is possible work with CVS from eclipse and netbeans
You set modules in CVS for eclipse
Nebeans have mounting features and work better with CVS
and You can work fine in netbeans with CVS set for eclipse

Thanks for the reply. I have not done anything with setting modules in CVS.

Can you point me to a document that might explain this a little more?

Thanks again,
Geoff
