Hello,
I've got two questions that I can't seem to find ansers for in the
archive....
Rather than use project folders underneath the workspace folder, I would
like my project folders to reside in various other random places in the
filesystem.
Is this possible?
Also, what happens when I want to copy a project onto my laptop when I
travel to a client site? Are there important bits in the workspace folder
that I also need to copy? Or is the workspace folder just for IDE config
related info?
Thanks!
JC

When creating the project uncheck the Use default location or check the
Create project from existing source option (Which one depends on the
type of project you are creating). You can then browse to the location
in the filesystem to contain your project. About the only restriction
is that projects can't be created within the project hierarchy of
another project.

The most important parts of a Java project are the .project and
..classpath files in the root directory for the project. If you have
project specific preference settings, they will be placed in a .settings
directory. You should include these when copying the project to your
laptop.
You can also export your other workspace settings from
File->Export->Preferences. This will export the preferences to a .epf
file. You can then copy the file to your laptop and import them using
File->Import->Preferences.

Thanks for the info David. When I create a general project in this
manner, then try to create a new class, I get the message that the project
isn't a java project. But if I select java project when creating the
project, the 'use default location' option isn't presented.
Still a bit lost...

That's where the Create project from existing source option comes in.
You don't have to actually have existing source to use it. Simple
browse to the location in your file system where you want the project to
reside and Eclipse will use that location. In fact, the location
doesn't have to exist when you create the project. Eclipse will create
the hierarchy structure to match the location.
