Loading or fetching a workspace without project root folder
If I have a project structure such as this:
componentA: projectAroot\.project \subdir1 \subdir1_1 \projectAfile.txt componentB: projectBroot\.project \subdir1 \sundir1_1 \projectBfile.txt Is it possible during teamFetch (JBT) of load (scm tool) to create: \.project (from projectAroot) \subdir \subdir1_1 \projectAfile.txt \projectBfile.txt Essentially giving me: 1. elimination of the root folder in each project 2. overlay of projectB's directory structure on top of projectA's (because other than the root folder, they have the same directory structure). We're integrating RTC into our existing build environment, and if we can't accomlish the above, we need to re-vamp build processing. Thanks, Brian |

Even with the new load features of 2.0 this is not possible.
We do not support the "nesting" or overlaying of shares on top of one another. - Heather SCM committer Brian Gillan wrote: If I have a project structure such as this: |

Geoff, This comes from how the projects we are looking to migrate from
PVCS have been structured in PVCS. There are a number of projects currently managed in PVCS that share a common chunk (a dozen of so files). In PVCS, this is done using a linking mechanism, much like a symlink in UNIX. So for each project, the "common" files appear in the same sub-folder structure within each project. We're trying to reproduce this behavior in RTC/Eclipse. Thanks, Brian |

Hi Brian,
Let's go back to your original question (in case I misunderstood what you were trying to do): Brian Gillan wrote: If I have a project structure such as this: Why do you want to have a file from project B be loaded in project A?

Geoff, We're using RTC-1.0 (actually v1.0.1) and this is a production
environment, so I would be hesitant to move to RTC-2.0 beta. Given we're using RTC-1.0, I don't see how to create the structure I describe in Eclipse... doesn't an Eclipse project have to exist in a folder? And, when I share an Eclipse project with RTC, I see no option to load the component with just the content of the Eclipse project. It brings along the project folder as well. Are you saying I need to move to 2.0 to achieve what I want? Or am I missing something in how I'm using Eclipse and sharing my project with RTC? Thanks, Brian |

You can put any file system structure you want into a component, with or
without projects or project roots. In RTC-1.0, there were some limitations in terms of how you can then load that component into the file system. In RTC-2.0, those limitations have been removed (in particular, the currently available beta of RTC-2.0 no longer has these limitations). So I'd recommend that you lay out your projects in your component exactly how you want them laid out on disk when they are loaded.

Geoff, I'm not generally an Eclipse user... setting this up for another
group. I assumed that Eclipse requires a root folder in each project, and when Team Shared, that's how it goes into RTC. Are you saying I can put stuff into a component that will not have a root folder? Thanks, Brian |

Just for interest's sake, why aren't you laying out your projects in the
repository the same way you want them laid out on disk? Cheers, Geoff Brian Gillan wrote: If I have a project structure such as this: |
