Error when transfering java projects from eclipse under windows to eclipse under linux [message #1860446] Sun, 06 August 2023 03:58 Go to next message

Hi, I hope I'm in the right forum: I have a question about eclipse JRE 2023-06 with JDK-20.

I created a folder containing about 20 java projects using the eclipse ide under windows 10. Then I transfered this folder to a linux mint system and defined it as my workspace running the eclipse ide under this linux. While under windows there were no errors in the projects and every project could be run without any problem, under linux every single project was tagged as containing an error and could not be executed any more. In both cases (i.e. under windows-eclipse as well as under linux-eclipse) I was using JRE 2023-06 with JDK-20.
(When I create a new java project using my linux-eclipse from the beginning everything is working fine.)

How can I transfer, without errors?

You cannot reuse a workspace across different machines, even different machines with the same operating system. Use File -> Export -> General -> Archive File to export just the project contents and use File -> Import -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace using the "Select archive file" option.
