SVN import from branch without project folder

0
Robert Studera (41●5●1) | asked Apr 27 '10, 11:42 a.m.
Hi there,

In my project I have to migrate from a SVN repository where there is only one Eclipse project per branch.
So in the SVN dump the structure is: 



project

   branches

      BRANCH1

         src

         lib

         ...

      BRANCH2

      ...

   tags

   trunk

      src

      lib

      ...


So when I import with the SVN Importer I end up with
either a structure like 

COMPONENT

   src

   lib

   ...

which has no folder for the Eclipse project
or I get a structure like 


COMPONENT

   trunk

      src

      lib

      ...


where the name of the Eclipse project is 'trunk' or the name of the branch.

Has anyone an idea how to map such a structure into a reasonable Eclipse project, when doing the SVN import?

Thanks.

Robert Studera

The importer doesn't support renaming of folders during import. However,
you can load a component root folder as a project (just as you can load
trunk as a project using SVN) so the first structure you mentioned would
be the structure you want (i.e. the Component itself acts as the Eclipse
project).

Thank you, Michael!
This would be a solution for the initial migration. In the long run we might want to have more than one eclipse project in one component, But that will be a major reorganisation anyway
