Hi,
I am working on a Java project in Eclipse. All files related to the project
are stored on an external drive, which allows me bring work home. However,
at home the drive when connected uses the drive letter 'E' but at the office
it uses the drive letter 'F'.
I created the project on the machine where the drive's letter was 'E', and
now I cannot open the project on the machine where the drive's letter is
'F'. Eclipse says "The project description file (.project) for MyProject is
missing..."
Apart from setting the drive letter on one of the machines manually so that
the drive uses the same letter on both machines, is there any other solution
to this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Terence

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply.
I found a way round the problem. I specified the full path of the project
using unix-style, and it works. For example, my workspace is in
E:\Projects\workspace, and my project is in E:\Projects\MyProject (i.e. no
overlap between workspace and project folders, and on my work machine, the
drive letters would be F:). I simple specified a project path of
"/Projects/MyProject" when I created the project.
The only thing is, eclipse insists on using drive letters when adding
external jars to the build path. Although now I can access my project files,
I have to re-map external jars' path when I switch to a different machine.
Regards,
Terence
