| Best way to move projects between workspaces? [message #150165] |

I have a single workspace with 15 projects. I'm starting to think that an
Eclipse performance problem I'm having is because something is operating
on a portion of all of my projects in the workspace, instead of the single
project that I requested the operation on.
I'm trying to pursue the performance problem, but in the meantime, I think
it would be a good idea to create another workspace and move several of my
projects into that workspace. I need to figure out the correct way to do
this. I've looked in the docs and googled for this, but I couldn't find
this detailed anywhere.
I think the best way is simply to go to the filesystem, create another
peer directory of my workspace directory, and move one or more project
subdirectories of the original workspace into the second workspace
directory. If I then start Eclipse, it will see fewer projects in the
default workspace. If I switch to the other workspace, then I'll see the
other projects. Is this the best way to handle this?

We don't have exactly this scenario, but something similar. Each
workspace represents another release of the product. Each release
contains generally the same projects.
When a new release comes up, I make a copy of that workspace. Then I run
Eclipse and open that workspace. I select all the projects and delete
them, but not the actual files. Then I do an import of existing projects,
and point to the new release source, which is in a different place.
You could do something similar:
- Copy your workspace A to B
- Switch to B.
- Delete the projects you don't want from B
- Switch back to A
- Delete the stuff you moved to B (now that you know it's over there)
The benefit of copying the workspace is that you maintain all the compiler
settings you may have set.
By the way, we have abougt 15 projects our workspaces, and have no
problems with performance on 3.2M6.
