Eclipse workspace and creating projects

by Mikko Ohtamaa — last modified Feb 04, 2009 03:08 AM
Eclipse organizes files to a workspace and projects. Getting everything out of them needs little planning.

Eclipse organizes files to workspaces and projects:

* Only one workspace can be open once, as it contains Eclipses global settings. It's usually */home/yourusername/workspace* folder.

* The workspace can contain many projects which can be simultaneously open

The important factor here is that Subclipse (Subversion plug-in) wants to see repository branches and trunk as a project and does not accept different Subversion URLs on project subdirectory level. Effectively this means that

* You need to create one project containing Plone buildout

* You need to have 1-n projects each per product (SVN branch/trunk) you are developing simultaneously

Creating projects for Plone
---------------------------

To create Python 2.4 project (for Plone 3.1), go to menu *File -> New Project -> New Python project*. Choose Python 2.4 interpreter and uncheck *Create src directory*.
