Eclipse 3.4 New Project Feature

After upgrading to the new Eclipse 3.4 Platform I am pretty excited about a couple new features. This one is more of a time saver for me and some may not care but I really like it. We have about 10 servers here that I do direct development on (no source control, I know...) and I need a good way to organize all of my projects. What I do is create working sets for each server eg dev1,live1 etc... When I create a new project there is now a feature to add this project to a working set which saves time from having to go in and edit the working sets. This is small but I am big fan of it!

About dang time. I love working sets and the need to go in and add the new project always bugged me (even though it's minor).

So is CFE working for you nicely?

I was having some major issues trying to run the bleeding edge version but if you use the latest CFE everything is working great. I am having a small issue with line numbers (check out google groups there is a thread) but other than that all of plugins are playing nicely.

I did notice those messages, but didn't follow them terribly close. Is the problem fixable?

There are some solutions posted I just have not tried them yet. I will give them a try and see what I come up with.

It works! There are two issues, one you just need to modify a prefs file and the other is to do with newest version of Subclipse. Check out the link below for more information.

Interesting. I had no issue with line #s. However, RDS doesn't seem to work well, either with file or db. I just get 'connecting to server...'

You playing with the Adobe CF stuff?

I have that as well but if you right click and refresh it usually comes back up.

That _kinda_ works - for the first level. So on Files i can see C and D, but I can't go deeper, even with refreshes.

Time to ping my contact. :)

I hate to be a wet blanket, but working sets have been around since Eclipse 2.0. It's only recently that they made it possible to add a project to a working set *upon creation*.

But this is available in Eclipse 3.3.

See "Add new Java project to a working set" section.

@Spiewak - read the post again. He is talking about the working set choice in the "new project wizard", not working sets as new.

@niyeu - your talking about the "New Java Project wizard", again check his post.

Nice post, Thanks for the information :-)
