Hi all:
I just installed Eclipse and the whole thing looks great except
that I cannot seem to set the source path or the outputted class path to
anything outside of the eclipse "workspace" directory. When I create a
new project, the project is created as a folder underneath the
'Workspace' directory. Then I can modify the 'Java Build Path/Source'
and the
'outputted classpath to any directory I want -- just so long as they are
underneath eclipses 'Workspace' directory.
I would like to be able use more than Eclipse as my development
environment. But it seems that if I use Eclipse, I would have to have
two versions of the source code, one where I normally keep it and one
under the Eclipse 'Workspace' directory. Even worse -- after doing a
build, the classes are all under the workspace directory, meaning I have
to take an extra step to move them to where I want them.
I am sure this is not the way it was intended. Do you know how I might
be able to designate a source directory and a class output directory
that is outside of the Eclipse directory structure?

Steve,
you should actually have asked this question in eclipse.tools (it's
explained on the eclipse.org website and I have set Followup-To to
eclipse.tools).
But anyway:

No, a project cannot refer to folders outside the project (at least not for
the source and output path).

You can create the project anywhere you like, just uncheck the "default
location" checkbox and navigate to a folder of your choice. The only things
Eclipse needs there are the .project and .classpath files.

I was able to create my Eclipse projects on top of existing project folders
using the steps outlined above, if that's not possible for you I'd be
curious to know what prevents it from working. :-)
Usually I create the Eclipse project at the top of my CVS modules and then
adjust source and output paths to point at the right places in the
structure.
