I've got an existing project (osCommerce). I'd like to import the
files & structure into Eclipse as a Project and into CVS. And I'd
like the Project and the CVS repository to be properly connected.
As far as I can tell, the Eclipse installation went well. So far I'm
impressed, but also kind of overwhelmed by the rich environment.
Getting the set of file and structure into CVSNT works fine.
I think I've created a Project and that it was connected to CVS, but
I'm new to Eclipse, there's a lot happening, and I'm not sure I'd
recognize correct (or incorrect) configuration if I saw it. So I'm
starting again from the beginning.
So the question is, given a directory heirarchy outside of Eclipse and
full of files, what's the best way to bring this into Eclipse as a
project and into CVS?
TIA,
Ned

1. Within php explorer (pdt perspective) select "new project" -> "php
project". You can switch to any existing directory. That's it. Eclipse
stores some usefull information ("This is a PDT project") within file
".project". After importing your project You should commit this file. There
are some others and some small directories pdt uses (f.e. .setings). I
recommend not to commit ".cache" since every client can rebuild this
directory.
2. If this project already exists in cvs you can switch to cvs repository
exploring (perspective) and right click your project folder. Hit "Check out
as...". If eclipse finds this small file ".project" it will recreate the
complete project. If it does not find it Eclipse will ask You about project
natures.
However Eclipse caches file system information. If you manipulate files
outside eclipse You can hit "refresh" from context menu. Note: You should
not use more than one cvs/svn client. You should not use eclipse and
tortoise to work on the same directories.

You confirmed what I have been doing. Good to have a second opinion.

This is an important tip. Many newbies need to know this.
Thanks,
