Hello,
I have the following problem while creating a new java project:
I want to create my project outside the workspace using the "create
project at external location" option. I have an existing directory
"x:\projects\" , where all my other existing project are located within
subdirs ("x:\projects\MyExistingProject1" ,
"x:\projects\MyExistingProject2" etc.) I want to create my new Eclipse
project under that dir in a new subdir
("x:\projects\MyNewEclipseProject" ). But when I enter that path the
wizard complains: " Cannot create project content in workspace." and I
cannot continue the wizard. I have no idea, why this happens. Can anyone
give me a hint ?
Ray

One part of the solution seems to be that Eclipse sees my
"projects"-Folder als its default workspace ! But I don't know why it
does this and where this could be set.

Did you start eclipse with -data X:/projects or did you do this one time
in the past (or did you select it one time in the past from the dialog
that first comes up asking for the workspace location)? If you selected
it once from that dialog, it becomes the default until you change it
through that dialog. It sounds like you are coming up with x:/projects
as your workspace.
Try using -data someotherarea for where you want the workspace root to
be. You need to have some unique workspace root because it will use that
root to store metadata data.

Thanks, Rich Kulp

Hi Rich,
This might be. Once I installed Version 2.x of Eclipse. But I didn't
realize that its setting will be preserved across different versions
(now i'm using 3.0)

Thanks for that hint. It seems that this option cannot be changed within
a config dialog, can it ?
