Can you expose here an example of a RTC project with some components ?

Thanks a lots !

The RTC eclipse integration was created so that components are aligned
with eclipse projects, by default, as much of eclipse UI is centered
around a project paradigm. This makes the integration easier to work with
but is not a hard requirement. There are other options:

1.If you really had to move away from this (and i don't recommend it) you
can use the repository view and put files into any component that you
wish and then load the components as eclipse projects.

2.You can also load the components as folders and forget about the RTC SCM
project integration entirely (set up eclipse projects not tied to SCM at
all). This may be awkward to use because you will need to work out of the
"Repository Files" view for loading/unloading delivering and accepting
and working with SCM.

Long story short, its better to some refactor of your code folder
structure and use eclipse projects because this is not only easier its
much cleaner.

Could you explain what you meant by "all components are stored in the same Eclipse projects" ? Normally, you'd have one or more Eclipse projects stored in a single UCM component. In particular, an Eclipse project by default is all files under the directory containing the .project file, and that directory tree would all need to be in a single UCM component, because UCM components cannot be nested within each other in the file system namespace.

In general, it is usually conceptually correct to just map your UCM components 1-1 with RTC components.

I agree with you Geoff. I have made a mistake when I have took the UCM example.
However, now, with the Eric's documentation, I understand the reason of create some components.
Thanks a lot !
