Hello,
I am pretty new to eclipse. Up until now I have been using textpad which
I like very much but now I am working with AJAX solutions and have to
write a lot of webapps with JSP and javascript and textpad doesnt fit the
bill.
I downloaded eclipse and webtools.
I am using another product for the my AJAX IDE which uses tomcat and just
uses creates a project/webapp folder in the webapps folder of tomcat.
When I create AJAX files in that ide, they are all saved in that folder
under the webapps..so I must use that for my ajax stuff...however..it also
requires me to write tons of javascript and jsps for which I would like to
use eclipse for.
My problem is this, if I use webtools or eclipse..it seems I all the time
have to be working from my workspace folder. When I create a simple
javascript file, I cant even save it into the directory i need under the
webapps fodler in tomcat..it seems I can only work within my workspace.
So, my question is can I use eclipse for these js file and jsp files?
I dont need a workspace and that other project file stuff and more
importantly i want to be able to create a file of specific type open the
perspective i need and save wherever I want..can I do this? If so please
someone tell me...
and also please dont sugguest import export and all the time I have to
work this other IDE so what I need is to only create and edit js and jsp
files in that specific webapp folder.
Thank you very much in advance!
Joren

Hi,
First, I think you're relating to project rather than workspace; a
workspace is a logical container of projects, not necessarily located
physically in the workspace folder. However, project files must reside
logically in the Project. To overcome this problem I use Linked Folders,
which is a logical shortcut from the project to any folder on the file
system. To create a Linked Folder do the following:
- File > New > Folder
- Click Advanced
- Check the 'Link to folder in the file system' check box
- Browse to the desired folder (webapp folder? tomcat folder?)
- Name the new Linked folder
- Click OK
In the Navigator or Package Explorer you'll see a folder with a shortcut
overlay icon.
HTH,
Oren

Another option is to create the Project in the place on your filesystem
where your files already are.
The default behavior when creating a new project in Eclipse is that it
creates the Project in the workspace. But there is an option in the New
Project wizard that you can use an existing location on your file system
instead. If you do that, the Eclipse Project will contain all the files
from that location.
HTH,
