Hello All,
I am in the processes of configuring Eclipse for use by a larger
group with an existing code base stored in clearcase. I have gone
through the process of setting up the projects and would now like the
ability to transfer the projects created so that each person in the
group does not have to recreate the wheel.
The details of the projects I've created are as follows.
1. There are 3 "library" project files whose sole purpose is to provide
a convenient way to group a large number of jar files.
2. There are 21 source projects. The number of projects is large to
prevent inadvertently creating dependencies between different projects.
3. Each "source" project contains at least one link directory that is
linked through a clearcase view (ie /view/<myview>/vobs/<vob_name>) to
the directory where the source is stored.
I have had success in transferring the project files if I use
absolute path names and massage the entries in the .classpath and
..project files to reflect their new location. This is not the best
solution but it seems to work.
What I'd like to do is use classpath variables and have each user
create their own instance of two classpath variables. Using this method
a user could change either the version of the source or the dependent
libraries with a single variable change. However, every time I attempt
to import a project that contains variables, the "library" project files
import fine while the "source" project files import with an empty source
folder.
Importing the "library" projects without the CLASSPATH variable
results in an "This project was not built due to classpath errors"
message. Importing the "source" projects without the CLASSPATH variable
does not result in any error message, just an empty source directory.
Also if I remove the CLASSPATH variable that the source file link is
based on, it will invalidate the other source file links that are based
on that variable. Replacing the variable does not fix the situation.
I have examined the .classpath and .project files of the original
and imported projects and they are identical. I'm at a loss and any
help would be appreciated.
Currently using 3.0M6 on sun 5.8 and w2k but I have also tried 2.1.2
with the same symptoms.
Cheers
Frank Rouse
