Strange behavior when loading repository workspace


Narayanan Potti (27037379) | asked Mar 23 '11, 2:56 p.m.
Hi

My environment: RTC 2.0.0.2 iFix 2 installed on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2. Eclipse client is running on Windows Vista SP2 64 bit.

My apologies if this question was already answered.

I created a new repository workspace and made it flow from a stream. I selected the option Load the root folders of the components as projects. Once the repository workspace was loaded I am seeing .project file in Pending Changes view in Unresolved folder. I believe this file is created by Eclipse.

Why does the file appear in Unresolved ? Do I need to check-in and Deliver the file ? My concern is if I deliver it other team members will see it in their Pending Changes view, Incoming folder.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
NP

Selecting "load root folders of the components as projects" will create Eclipse projects for each component and load the contents into those projects. You can stop this from happening by going to the next page and expanding Advanced Options. Select the option to load but not create Eclipse projects.

If the components already have Eclipse projects, you can select "load Eclipse projects" on the first page of the load wizard.

Eclipse will only load a directory if it is in a project.
So when you load the root folders as projects, unless they actually are
projects (indicated by the existence of a .project file in the root
folder), RTC will automatically add that .project file (to make Eclipse
happy). You can then decide whether you want to share that .project
file, or keep it local in your sandbox (i.e. leave it in the Unresolved
folder and not put it under source control). And even if you do share
it, as long as you put it in its own change set, you can decide whether
or not you want to deliver it to the team stream. If you don't deliver
it, the other team members won't see it.

Cheers,
Geoff
