Java Packages not listed/loaded? [message #264945] Sat, 27 September 2008 08:26 Go to next message

When I used Eclipse 3.2 for school machines, I kept 3.2 and my workspace
on a USB thumbdrive. It may have been a bit slow to load, but gave me
the same eclipse and workspace regardless of which school PC I logged onto.

Now I've installed 3.4 J EE on my home PC (WinXP SP3) and even though
I specify the workspace of the USB, Package view does not display the
packages contained on the USB. (each Package has its own folder in
(USB drive)/workspace/(folder).

The USB is recognized by the PC, and 3.4 will allow me to Import files
from it, but I'd like to have all the Java Packages loaded with the
workspace.

Thanks for helping!

It's nice that Eclipse can be used in this way without relying in being
installed and having keys in the registry...

You mean the workspace is just completely empty? Or it just doesn't
look quite right? Is this a workspace created with 3.4? Generally
Eclipse isn't going to care if the workspace is on a USB drive or not.
It just not clear from what you've described what might be going wrong...

Could you elaborate a bit about when you're actually seeing.? One
important thing to consider as well is what JRE are you running Eclipse
with? You'll need a 5.0 JRE...

The workspace is not empty, it has a dozen or so folders containing
the Java Packages (including the .class and .java files within the
packages).
The workspace was created under Eclipse 3.2.
Is there a conversion I need to do?

What I see on the USB thumbdrive /workspace is pretty much what I've
seen on it when I ran 3.2, a folder for each Java Package, a .metadata
folder, and a DS_STORE file.

Java JRE 6u7
Java JDK 6u7

Thanks again!

I think it should just work, but if all else fails, importing them into
a new workspace is worth a try...

So you have a number of top level projects... Do they (the project
folders at the top level) show the litlle J icon indicating they are
recognized as Java projects? You're asking questions about the Java
Browsing perspective. Package's don't show up until you select projects
first, right?

Thanks, it turns out I was in the Java perspective and not the Java
Browsing perspective. They are there and I'm feeling better...
