Project explorer in RTC not showing anything?


Akhil Jain (41176) | asked Sep 13 '13, 10:55 a.m.
I have been using RTC for a while as document repository.  In the Project Explorer view, it will show me all the directories and files (just like windows explorer).  I just got a new laptop and moved all my directories and files to the new laptop.  I also reloaded "load as..." the components I had in my repository workspaces to the new directory structure I have.   All that works fine including the sync with the server and able to check-in and check-out the files.  The only thing not working is the project explorer.   I do not see anything over there.  It is blank.  How can I have it show all the directories and files that have been checked into RTC?

Hi Akhil,


Project Explorer will show only Eclipse projects if I'm not mistaken. You will have to import existing projects.

Not really sure what that means.  My repository is loaded so I can see the workitems.  I can also see the documentation components I have where we store project documents.  I am able to sync with the server.  So all that works already.  The only thing is not be able to see the files in project explorer.  What import would I need to do for that?

The Project Explorer is an Eclipse view, for viewing Eclipse projects.   You have to tell your instance of Eclipse what projects you want to be working with, and you do so by "importing" those projects into Eclipse.   The Eclipse RTC plugin can help you out in that regard, if you use one of the variants of the RTC "load" command that says "Find Eclipse Projects" (then RTC will automatically do the "import" for you).   The "Load As" command you used must not have been one of the "Find Eclipse Projects" variants ... so you will need to either do the import yourself, or unload your workspace, and then load it again with a "Find Eclipse Projects" variant of the Load command.

Worked for me. In my eclipse it was located at File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace
