Sharing contexts between developers [message #23568] Thu, 23 August 2007 12:53 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Let's say we have 2 developers. One has checked out source code from a
repository under the project name 'myproject' and the other checks the
SAME source under a different project name 'hisproject'.

How do we share contexts between the two? Below the project name,
everything else is the same. However, in the context itself I can see
where the project name is part of a context path, thus keeping either of
these 2 developers sharing it. I've made a little mini test and my
suspicion is correct.

Is this a known issue or am I attempting to use something the way it
shouldn't be? Is there an easy workaround? Telling all developers to
name their projects the same way won't work as I have a hard enough time
telling them to use something other than vi to do their work with :)

Thanks all,
Eric

That would answer my question. This is rather tough to get a bunch of
developers (most who don't use Eclipse now as is) to accept using
Eclipse AND require we all name our projects the same way (we have
hundreds of projects).

Does anyone else have any experience in dealing with this issue?
Pointers you can provide?

Thanks!
Eric

While I wish I could simply ask you to convince all Eclipse users to use
the same project names, it makes sense that this is not feasible in some
scenarios. Please file a bug explaining your situation.

Adding support for this will not be straightforward, because Mylyn
necessarily needs to include the project's name in identifying the
identity of elements in the task context. However, in the 3.0 cycle we
will be doing related work on refactoring contexts and may be able to
include support for this kind of manual mapping.
