Hello,
it appears that the path of a dependent project is stored in a .location file under the workspace tree in a non-readable format. Is there a way to store it in a more transparent way? And is it possible to specify this dependency in a machine-dependent way so as to facilitate installation and development from multiple computers?
More generally, what is the best way to "export" the workspace to another computer (running the same version of eclipse), so that the preferences/etc. stored in the workspace are preserved?
Thanks
Stefano
