How to share global project settings [message #158890]

Hi,

We are using standard make project and using subversion.
The problem is that each time I check out
a project I need to set the project settings manually.

By project settings I mean. Which debugger to use,
environment variables etc. It is quite tedious
to set it each time you check out a project.

What I would like to do is to put the files
with this info under version control.

I tried with putting .project and .cdtproject
under version control under version control.
But that didnt work, since they dont seem
to contain that information.

After some investigation it seems that the layout
is:
workspace/myproject/.project
.metadata/.plugins/

And all project settings seems to be saved .metada/.plugins.
Is there a way to force them to be saved under myproject instead?
And which files would I need to do it with?

Hi Toni,

setting like debugger to use are probably from debug launch configurations.
These are, in fact, not stored in the project but in the metadate.
Archiving the metadata as a whole is not a good idea since they contain a
lot of machine- und user-specific stuff.
Archiving the launch configuration might work. They are stored in

....\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches

as xml-Files.

Helpful?

Thanks it was helpful. But more to realize that
eclipsce/cdt/versioncontrol doesnt seem to be
a good mix.

I don't understand how you can make it to work
nice if you have several developers. Or if you
work on a project and want to check out several
trunk/work directories because you want to work
on things in parallel.

Because you dont really want to setup the
Environment variables, GDB info etc each time
you check out a project.

Actually one may choose to store the launch configuration in the
project directory by choosing "Shared file" (as opposed to the
default "Local file") at the "Common" tab/page of the launch
configuration settings.
