Hi,
For my next release, I am trying to move from using weblogic workshop to myeclipse IDE. I am having trouble creating the enterprise project. Since my coding is complete and checked into CVS, I can’t change my directory structure. I am stuck with it.

My directory structure is as follows

Project
——-Source
————-Common
———————–com…
————-EJB
———————–com…
————-WebApp
———————-com …
———————-WEB-INF
———————-jsp

My projects Common, EJB and WebApp are at the same level under Source. Because the projects overlap, I am not able to create my project in myeclipse IDE.

Is there anyway to make the source folder same as the project folder in which case I can solve this problem. Or is there an alternative way to solve this issue.

I have gone through all the documentation, but still no luck. Can someone please help me out.

Thanks.

Hmm… you might be able to get around this project by checking out the same project as 3 separate projects, hiding the unrelated Source folder from each project that it doesn’t belong to… I’ve never done that, so I’m not positive.

I would point out that having /com under your webroot dir (WebApp) won’t work. That source directory needs to live outside of your WebRoot directory becuse the webroot driectory is what gets deployed.

I tried creating the projects as three different projects, but myeclipse does not allow me to do that either, throwing an error that a project already exists .

If I understand you right, we would not be able to use myeclipse in our project, since there is no workaround to this issue.

I am really surprised that an IDE has so much dependency on how the directory structure is setup.

I created this directory structure:
Project
——-Source
————-Common
———————–com…
————-EJB
———————–src
———————————com…
————-WebApp
———————-src
———————————com …
———————-WebRoot
———————————WEB-INF
———————————jsp

And was able to create the 3 projects. Notice I had to mess with the EJB and Web projects a bit, but that layout works. I don’t know how much this helps you, part of the project is that you laid the source out as a single project and in MyEclipse different module types are modelled as projects and in Eclipse projects cannot overlap eachother.

So that’s sort of a 3-part dependency chain reasoning for the limitations, but I hope the workaround can help.
