Hi,
maybe this has been discussed before, but ...
I have the following situation. I work in a project which has the
release, let's say, 1.0. This release has some Support Packages or
Service Packs. Select the name of your choice here.
Unfortunately customers can not simply upgrade to higher service packs
to get rid of errors or lacks in functionality because this is a very
big system, so I have to support all the SPs in parallel. Let's say 10
SPs. Because the Eclipse workspaces for these SPs do only differ
slightly, I'd like to export the workspace of i.e. SP03 into some XML-or
whatever file, change some paths to some subprojects, and import it into
a (maybe completely new) workspace for SP05. So I do not have to create
a workspace from scratch which takes in our environment something about
1,5 or 2 hours to manually import all the subprojects, set
classpath-variables and all this things.
Is there already a solution for this ?
Thanks in advance.
Ciao
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
We did the following to solve this problem:
For each version we are supporting we create a unique workspace directory.
We then map whatever version we happen to be working on to a network
drive. Then we specify the "-data" directory as the network drive when
starting eclipse. All classpaths are defined in terms of our network
drive. Thus we we "clone" or copy the workspace, we don't have to
re-import the world. We just remap the same network drive and restart
eclipse.
