I had to create a new PHP project (we won't go into why I lost the old
one) and used Drag and Drop to load the files from localhost into the
workspace in Eclipse.
So the actual live files are located at : C:\inetpub\wwwroot
The workspace file are located at : C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\OPM_Workspace\OPM3
If I edit a file from within Elipse, the file appears to save without
error... the little asterisk by the file name disappears. The reality is
that the live files in C:\inetpub\wwwroot did not really change.
Now if I want to develop this app in Eclipse, I am having to maintain two
different sets of files... (Bleh!)
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I want to keep using
Eclipse PDT to debug and develop this app... I dunno if I can or want to
keep maintaining two sets of files though.
Sincerely,
Karen C

When you dropped the files into Eclipse, you got copies of them in your
Eclipse workspace; it is those files that are being modified. I'm not
sure why you would expect anything different - it would be quite
counter-intutitive (to me) for Eclipse to have somehow made "links" to
the original files.
In any case, I don't know if PDT has any special features to support
what you want, but in general you could use a linked directory in your
Eclipse project that points to the "live" location. In your project,
when you create a Folder, click the Advanced button to see the option
for creating a linked folder. Also, in the Help contents, navigate to
the page Workbench User Guide > Tasks > "Working with projects, folders
and files" > "Creating linked resources"
Hope this helps,
Eric
