Eclipse : how to copy .project and .classpath files

Thread view: 
brightoceanlight@hotmail.com - 22 Nov 2005 16:13 GMT
I'm trying to copy an Eclipse project from a Linux machine to windows,
but the .project and .classpath files won't copy with ftp.

What can I do?
brightoceanlight@hotmail.com - 22 Nov 2005 16:29 GMT
I suppose an even better question is how can I move a project from
Eclipse on Linux to Eclipse on Windows?

Use a packaging tool like zip or rar to pack the project and unpack it
on windows.

Kind regards,
Daniel

First Solution:
Make your Linux system into a CVS server, put the project on it, then
check it out with your Windows box;-)  This is the best solution.

Second Solution:
The earlier poster, Daniel Rohe,
was right, you can simply use Zip.  Once on the Windows System you can
import an "archive file" (your zip file) from Eclipse.

Third Solution:
Also, for the most part you can recreate those files by starting a new
project on the Windows system and just copying your .java files, .xml, and
whatever else into the new project.  That wouldn't take much time at all.
You'll have to set up the classpath (which takes care of .classpath) and
.project will be recreated.
