Hi Jan,
to state it clearly:
* every branch of a (java) project is a new /different project in
eclipse, they have nothing to do with each other. Btw.: you will have to
change the project-name in .project if you want to have different
versions of the same project in one workspace: the project-name must be
unique. So e.g. change it from DEVEL-myProject to MAINT-1.0-myProject etc..
* if you work with lot's of projects it is good practice to seperate
them in different workspaces: one for devel, one for maint etc..
you can than launch eclipse 2 times with different workspaces.
Use the option to set a name in the titlebar of eclipse to avoid mixing
up things.
* in eclipse you can group projects using working-sets in the
project-explorer. simple but good to organize your projects
* if neccessary you can define depenencies: project B opens / closes if
project A is opened / closed. Myself does not use it, but kight be an idea.
* mylyn, mmhh... I tried it a few weeks, but it was to "noisy" and
didn't help me that way I needed it. I think it's no good tipp to use it.
* another option / idea: depending on the decoratos you have it might be
possible to color the filenames in the project-explorer-tree with
different colors. E.g. "blue" for devel-soource, brown for maint-soruce
etc..
Btw, I do not understand what you wanna say with:
<<<
but closing one project does not hide the files opened while working
with that project.
<<<
If you close a project, every source / editor in this project is closed.
If not, file a bug to eclipse!
Regards, Norbert
