Sharing workspace between different machines (platforms) [message #137803] Thu, 29 January 2004 16:16 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
All,

I seem to remember this question was asked not that long ago, though I
don't remember if there was an answer.

Is there a way to share workspace between two different machines (one
linux and one windows)? I want to be able to quickly pick up on the other
machine where I left off on the first without going through CVS. The
problem seem to be that the .metadata directory is also shared along with
the rest of the workspace meaning that things like classpath variables are
shared, which is a bad thing.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Simon Tardell.

You may find it a silly anwser but it would be much simplier to share
projects instead of workspaces. As far as I can see, sharing the
whole workspace instead of the projects would only be of interest
if you often create/delete projects or if you often change the workspace
configuration.

Your projects don't need to reside within your workspace. When you create
the project, uncheck use default location. You can navigate to a location
that is shared between both platforms. This keeps your workspace settings
separate from your project settings. Your platform specific workspace can
define the appropriate classpath variables for the platform.

No, it is not silly at all. I thought of that answer myself before asking
the question but rejected it for some reason I cannot remember or
understand now. Thanks for making me think again.
