External Workspace locations not supported?
Hi all,
while trying to migrate an exist project into Jazz I had problems setting up an new Java project from an existing external location (i.e. a folder outside the Eclipse Workspace). First I imported the project into Jazz SCM, then I used the unload/load operations. The behaviour is as follows:
- unload removes the project folder from the external location (outside the Eclipse Workspace)
- load creates the project folder in the Eclipse Workspace, but not in the external location
The project I am trying to import is set up using external locations only. Maybe this just doesn't fit into the Jazz philosophy, but I wonder if the described behaviour is a bug or a feature.
Thanks and best regards,
Torben

When the project doesn't exist in eclipse, Load creates it in the default
location, which is under the eclipse workspace.

This is correct behaviour. If you don't want the project deleted you
should chose not to delete contents.
- load creates the project folder in the Eclipse Workspace, but not in

When the project doesn't exist in eclipse, Load creates it in the default
location, which is under the eclipse workspace.

actually I want unload to delete the contents from my local hard disc, I
was just wondering why the load operation doesn't restore it in the same
(external) place where it has been deleted previously.

Hi Dmitry,

We have used external workspace locations extensively in one of our projects, so I just wonder whether this was possible with Jazz also -- and in fact it is, unless you unload/load a component. There were some obscure, project-specific reasons why we had to use external workspace locations, maybe you just shouldn't do this if you set up a project with Jazz from the beginning...
Best regards,
