Hi,

What is the best way to make a copy of a CDT project?

What I tried is to click on a project and do a copy and paste (with a new name). However, I have strong doubts about this method. The .cproject of the new project is completely identical to the original. All the identifiers that are supposed to be unique are now duplicated.

Eclipse keeps track of existing projects in the .metadata tree, and now some entries appear twice.

I'm getting the impression that Eclipse is now messed up. But I must say I haven't been able to come up with a good bug report.

There is one obvious error in the .cproject, and that is the value of <builder buildPath ... />. Say if I copy project test21 to test22 then in test22/.cproject I still see
<builder buildPath="${workspace_loc:/test21}/Debug"
But I don't know how CDT is using that value.
