Eclipse plugin question

[maxim_ge]

Hi all,

I'm investigating Community Edition, very impressed so far about merging and permission management.

Got a "conceptual" question about Eclipse plugin though.

-I create eclipse workspace K:\Products\triniforce\workspace

-Inside this workspace I create project pscm1

-Now I want to share this project and put it into Plastic SCM

-"Creating Plastic SCM workspace" dialog appears

--Workspace name = eclipse_wk ??

--Workspace path = K:\Products\triniforce\workspace ??

Why Plastic SCM workspace is located at the eclipse workspace level ?

I'd expect ( and I actually did )

- Workspace name = eclipse_pscm1, so I want name of my project to be added to "eclipse_" why "_wk" is used ?

- Workspace path = K:\Products\triniforce\workspace\pscm1

Having that I'm able to get second project say a library my pscm1 depends on to my eclipse workspace.

In other words I think correct relation is

One eclipse workspace - zero or more Plastic SCM workspaces

instead of

One eclipse workspace - one or zero Plastic SCM workspace

which is implied by default by your Eclipse plugin.

Am I missing something ?

Hi Maxim,

You are not missing nothing.

The two combinations are possible, summarized below:

One Eclipse workspace - zero or more Plastic SCM workspaces

============================================================

Imagine different eclipse products for several companies:

k:\development\Eclipse\productA

k:\development\Eclipse\productB

k:\development\Eclipse\productC

Eclipse workspace located in k:\development\Eclipse\

Plastic workspaces created in productA, productB and productC

In this case you'll see three Plastic workspaces inside Eclipse.

One eclipse workspace - one or zero Plastic SCM workspace

============================================================

Imagine several Eclpise (sub)products in a global product:

k:\development\Eclipse\productA

k:\development\Eclipse\productB

k:\development\Eclipse\productC

Eclipse workspace located in k:\development

Eclipse workspace located in k:\development\Eclipse

In this case you'll see only one Plastic workspace inside Eclipse.

Plastic proposes by default the second alternative, but you can choose what you want.

This scenario blockes me from creating and sharing few projects, they are linked to the same repository

Aha, got it, it puts second project to the same repository. I used to think that one project = one repository.
