Hi Jimmy, I hope this helps. The workspace folders in eclipse are simply containers that hold your current settings. There is no set rule that your project folders also have to be contained inside the workspace. Say you create a new project, File>New>Project , pick a project type (I'll use General Project as an example so there's a simple dialog). Now in the New Project dialog box there should be a field for Project Name, and below it a check box for "Use default location" and a grayed out field where the project will be stored. This, by default, is set to your workspace and as you type a project name it creates a folder with that name in your workspace. If you do not want to put the project in your workspace simply uncheck the box and type the full path to the project folder. This also allows you to create a project folder with a different name then the project name in eclipse. My current setup has a main c:\workspace directory containing all my workspaces for different clients I do work for and a c:\webroot folder for apache/cf. Since each client has their own set of ftp servers, code repositories, and projects I have each workspace configured just for that client. All the projects, though, are put under c:\webroot\<project name> so they can be accessed by cf. The nice thing about the workspaces in eclipse is that even though my c:\webroot looks like I've got projects all over the place each workspace remembers only the projects I created in that workspace. If I want to have a project accessible in two workspaces I can simply import the project into the second workspace. This also allows you to use multiple, incompatible, versions of eclipse with each other since each can have a separate workspace under c:\workspace. Robert |
