Trouble using same name project in different workspaces [message #1712259]

In different work spaces, I have a project named 'bikes' - one is for development, other for production. I can't seem to get Eclipse Mars 4.5.1 to switch after I reset to a different work space.

I know this is me, but I can;t figure it out. Any help is welcome.

Regards, Gil Blais

In what way doesn't Eclipse seem to "switch"? (Give a little more detail?)

c:\xampp_dev\htdocs\bikes
c:\xampp_prd\htdocs\bikes

Two folders - one for development, one for production, each having an Eclipse project named 'bikes'.

When I get into the Eclipse IDE and want to switch to xampp_prd, it always seems to use the code in the xampp_dev directory.

Should I copy the project from the dev to the prd folder and be done ?

I can fix this by doing things manually when I am ready to publish to the prd folder, but I am trying to utilize Eclipse if it is possible.

Hope this is more clear.

Not for me.

So, you have one workspace with two projects, both named "bikes". I
don't think that's possible. Please explain how you have set your
workspace up.

What are the steps involved in "switching" between projects?

I have TWO workspaces (c:\xampp_dev\htdocs and c:\xampp_prd\htdocs) and they each have an Eclipse project in them named 'bikes'.

I do development in one and run test production in the other. When I am satisfied that a new version in c:\xampp_prd\htdocs works properly, I install it in live production.

All I want to do is have Eclipse use the 'bikes' project in the workspace that I have switched to .

Hope that is clear enough.

I think it is now. You can have two different projects by the same name
as long as in different workspaces. And these projects can have
different source code (and should). Are the project sources inside the
workspace filesystem?

I don't know whether to keep asking questions or not. If you right-click
on your project and choose Properties, you should see the path to the
bikes project your workspace thinks it's getting. If that's the same in
both workspaces, then you must have set up the same project in both
places(?).

(Sorry, yes, your first post revealed that they are in separate workspaces.)

You've given the paths to the workspaces. Please list the paths to the
two projects.
