Syncing Projects On 2 Computers [message #207444] Tue, 21 June 2005 06:24 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm working on an Eclipse project, and I sometimes use one computer to do
the work, sometimes a different computer. The two computers are both on
the same network. What is the easiest way for me to keep them in sync?

Right now, when one project is out of date, I'm just deleting it and
re-importing the newest version from the other computer. This is obviously
a hack method and I'd like to find a better way.

Thanks for any help,
John

The easiest way is to network share the workspace. Then you can access
it from whichever computer you use.

Number 2 would be to keep the project in CVS (but you'd have to check
into CVS before you switch computers). There are a couple of CVS
servers that are easy to set up locally if you don't have access to a
private area or branch in an existing one.

Problem with this is that it's pretty slow over my wireless network for
some reason.

Which would you recommend -- ease of integration with Eclipse is a big
priority.

Thanks,
John

If you have windows boxes, CVS NT worked well for me on windows, it has
a free version, http://www.cvsnt.com/cvspro/

if you have linux, a google on cvs or a visit to http://www.cvshome.org
will get you started.

But ... you'll still pay the price in downloading and syncing your
project. I've found the compiling and editing go much faster on my
local disk than on NFS or a windows share.

Paul

It is not a supported or recommended setup for Eclipse - it wants the
workspace and Project contents to be on local storage. Eclipse performs
TONS of file IO during normal operation, and thus relies on a fast IO
pipe to operate smoothly.

I like the recommendation to use CVS, but another option is to archive
(zip, tar) the Project directory and copy it between the machines. Just
make sure to delete the old copy before un-archiving a newly moved copy.

HTH,
Eric
