[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-58?page=comments#action_76856 ] Kenney Westerhof commented on MECLIPSE-58: ------------------------------------------
You should NEVER point the eclipse.workspace to the actual project locations! I can see why you did it - flatten the project tree. But what's the use for that anyway? Just create an empty workspace directory somewhere - you don't need anything in there. Then just import the projects from the real location - they appear flat in eclipse. No need to flatten them out. Only leaf projects (packaging!=pom) are imported anyway.

However, when running eclipse:eclipse on a > simple project that is already in the Eclipse workspace directory, I get > links to my folders created, and the classpath uses the links instead of the > actual directory. This behaviour also occurs when I have a multi-project in > the eclipse workspace directory where the directory name matches the > artifactId of the parent project, the pom.xml file is linked over the top of > the actual file. > The linking behavior of eclipse:eclipse when eclipse.workspace is set should > only be turned on when the target project directory > (${eclipse.workspace}/${project.artifactId} does not match the current > directory. In that case, the normal eclipse:eclipse behavior should apply. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
