Nested Project Support


Thomas Beauvais (11) | asked Feb 03 '11, 11:31 a.m.
I have noticed that if I try to create a Java project at a sub location(a couple of levels down) under my top level project I get this error "Projects located in the workspace folder must be direct sub folders of the workspace folder". I believe this error is coming from RTC since Eclipse now lets you create projects within projects.

However I was able to create my desired nested project structure my adding a Eclipse .project file to my sub project location, and then use the Eclipse Import/Existing Projects into Workspace. This seemed to work great, and the project is under source control. I'm not seeing any issues with this, but I just wanted to check to see if there are any known problems doing this? I have seen this techniques used by other groups in my organization.

Thanks,
Tom

I searched for that message and I don't see it coming from RTC SCM. It may still be a Java project restriction

RTC's Eclipse client supports tracking imported projects.

However nested projects (i.e. projects within projects) are untested and unsupported.
