Antwort: RE: [platform-dev] Reuse of Workspace

[juergen.seitz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks for those 2 informations !

I work with several wworkspaces to and have for each one icon on my desktop with
the -d argument.

My problem is that i get several error messages because the metainfo - structure
has changed.
And also some perspectives/views etc. have changed too.
Also it´s a lot of work to bind the projects again to the repositories.
So i thought that there perhaps is a widget or something else to migrate
workspaces from one eclipse version to the other :-)

Sorry that i post this here, but i have problems to get the newsgroups here at
work

JS,

There is an article on the eclipse site that explains how to upgrade eclipse
without destroying your existing workspaces.  I forget where exactly, but I used
it during my upgrade from 1.0 to M2...

If your upgrading to F2 using a different base directory, then you'll have to
use Mariano suggestion of the -data command line parameter.  Incidentally, I
have lots of different workspaces...actually I view them as projects.  For
Windows I just create a shortcut and adjust the command line as -data
d:\projects\java\myprj.  On my Linux box, I just setup a small one-line shell
script ... "eclipse -data /home/me/projects/java/myprj &".

hth,

:Hi,
:
:  I guess this issue is best addressed on the newsgroups.
:
:  You can specifiy -data <workspacedir> to tell eclipse which
:workspace to
:use. If you haven't specified that before eclipse will have created a
:directory "workspace" below the installation directory, e.g.
:eclipse.  So to reuse
:it, install the new version and let -data point to your old workspace.
:
:  I don't know really, but it could probably happen that a new
:version will
:not be compatible with an old workspace, but I have never
:encountered that. I
:started with the first stable build in Nov '01 and kept the
:workspace since
:then while also upgrading the code to every stable build,
:including F2.
:
:Cheers,
:Mariano
