project overlap problem [message #213788]

I'm trying to create the following project structure:

c:\dev\Foo\eclipseProjects\projectA
c:\dev\Foo\eclipseProjects\projectB
c:\dev\Foo\eclipseProjects\projectC
...

I managed to create projectA, but when I tried to create projectB I got
the following message:

"C:\dev\FGPersistence\eclipse overlaps the location of another project:
projectA"

what is the problem and how can I achieve the desired project structure?

thanks

Are you trying to point to FGPeristence\eclipse as a linked folder in
project A and project B? Or as a remote project (i.e. the project does
not exist directly under the workspace but is somewhere else). If you
are then that is the overlap.

Well, I'd like to have c:\dev\Foo\eclipseProjects as the root for all
eclipse projects I develop.
And I did try to define them as remote projetcs

(please ignore "c:\dev\FGpersistence\eclipse". it should have been
"c:\dev\Foo\eclipseProjects")

Regarding your error message, I guess that means that you were trying
to create all these projects on same location...
This is not possible with Eclipse in same workspace.

So you have to set 3 different locations for your 3 projects.
If you have common code, then you can either define a fourth project
and make it as prerequesite of your 3 projects or use a linked source
folder in each of your 3 projects.

Have a look on Project creation tutorials which show several ways
to configure multiple projects with common code.
Click on Menu item Help->Help, then expand
"Java Dvpt User Guide"
+ Project configuration tutorial

So what is the base workspace that you started eclipse with? Was it
"C:\dev\Foo\eclipseProjects"?

If it was, then you should of simply been able to say

"Create "projectA"" and it would of created a new directory called
project A under C:\dev\Foo\eclipseProjects.

If the workspace is not this, then what is the workspace that you are
starting and how did you try to create project A?

Hi,

Just make sure that the path in the create project wizard reads
C:\dev\FGPersistence\eclipse\projectB and not C:\dev\FGPersistence\eclipse
