change existing project to Java? [message #181371] Wed, 22 November 2006 19:42 Go to next message

A new project folder was created for me in CVS. I created an "about.html"
in there to verify that I could write to it. In so doing I evidently also
created a .project. But the project description is essentially empty -
there are no project natures.

How can I turn this into a PDE Java plug-in project? If I check out from
CVS and then try to "create new project" I've already got a project there so
it fails. If I create a new project from scratch and then try to sync it to
CVS I think it'll fail, but I haven't tried that. I can't seem to find any
"add Java to existing project" functionality.

Thanks!

From the CVS Repository explorer, try checking the project out using
the "Check out as..." option. On the first page of the check out wizard,
select "Check out as a project configured using the New Project Wizard".
Once you get to the new project wizard, select Java project. You'll
have to identify a source folder within your project.

That doesn't exactly work, because it says "only available when the project
file does not exist in the repository," and I had created a .project. But I
was able to check out the project, delete the old .project file, and then do
as you suggested, and that seems to have worked. Thanks!
