I have created multiple workspaces and projects in my development environment and would like to migrate everything to a “production” environment. My goal is to be able to copy the entrie workspace and source folder structure to another parent folder. Is there a way I can copy everything and have the workspace folder point to the “new” source files. For example I have the following current structure in my development environment

W:\CNRWLSTestEclipse\Project Workspaces
W:\CNRWLSTestEclipse\Source Folders

Each workspace has multiple projects associated with it.

I’d like to copy everything to:

W:\CNRWLSProdExlipse\Project Workspaces
W:\CNRWLSProdEclipse\Source Folders

When I do this copy now and open up the new workspace — all of the soruce folders are still pointing to the original location.

Is there an .ini file entry or some other file I can manually edit to accomplish this. I’d rather not have to rebuild every project in the new directory structure.

Any help would be appreciated.

I asked one of the devs about this and it won’t be a small move/copy operation, you will likely need to either recreate all those projects or readjust all the /src folders yourself. Here is the quote:

Nope. Those paths are stored as full, absolute paths by Eclipse, not as
relative paths. He’ll likely have to go back to each source folder and drop
it and re-add the new one he wants. I don’t know where Eclipse stores the
paths.

That’s too bad. It seems like quite a hassle for those of us required to keep two distinctive environments. I guess it won’t be too cumbersome after I get everything setup the first time. Thanks for your response.
