Question for the conception -- component.


Han Jie (10120) | asked Nov 21 '07, 2:08 a.m.
The definition of component in Jazz help is:
Each component contains the set of related files and folders associated with an Eclipse project.

But When I create a component, what I can do is
"Select one or more projects to include in the component."

So I can not add part of a project to a component.
That is to say: I can not define a component smaller than a project.

If I really need to do so, I should divide the project into 2 or more small sub project. am I right?

A component has a root folder "/", and you can add any number of child folders/files to it. They don't have to be projects per say but the Eclipse client does emphasize that they are. Now, there is a current limitation in that when we load a component into your local filesystem, we load the entire tree as-is, but in many contexts you actually want to load varying sub-folders of the component. This work is being tracked in enhancement 30924.

@Jlemieux.
Thx a lot for you explaination.
U mean:
Users can add any fild folders/files to a compoent.
And now I can only add predefined project to it, because the eclipse client?
But is there any other client for Jazz I can use?
I have tried the jazz web, I even can not find this function there.
