If we create a new project under the git tree,\nand try to use \"share\", then we get presented a folded list containing\nthe project we want to add, which when unfolded reveals \"..\\.git\"\n(yes, this test done on windows) as repository, which is promising.\n\nBut then the field below near the \"Create\" button (the one with\n\"\\.git\" text on the right) gets polulated with the full project path\nwhen we click on the project in the list, and we could not unlock the\n\"next\" or \"finish\" button. Are we just trying things the way they\nshould work but hit functionnality that is just not finished, or are\nwe completely off-track ?\n\nThanks much,\n-- \nYann\n"},{"id":"129003","messageId":"20091202142413.GB18165@linagora.com","threadId":"21751","inReplyTo":"200911252227.40235.robin.rosenberg@dewire.com","subject":"Re: [egit] Git repository with multiple eclipse projects ?","fromName":"Yann Dirson","fromEmail":"ydirson@linagora.com","sentAt":"2009-12-02T14:24:13Z","receivedAt":"2009-12-02T14:24:13Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"ydirson@linagora.com","avatar":null},"body":"On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 10:27:39PM +0100, Robin Rosenberg wrote:\n> onsdag 25 november 2009 17:47:34 skrev Yann Dirson:\n> > I am investigating whether it is possible at all to have several\n> > eclipse projects in a single git repo, and have those projects\n> > correctly seen as managed by git.\n> >\n> > When importing a git repo into eclipse, we get a list of projects to\n> > import, but that list is empty.

Do you mean using\nsubmodules (I thought jgit did not support them yet) ? git-subtree ?\n\n> >\n> > It also does not look like it would be possible to use the \"share\"\n> > functionnality to setup such a repository from multiple projects (or\n> > from a project set), right ?\n> \n> Share only tells Eclipse to attach EGit as the team provider, provided\n> it is located in a git repo, or lets you create a repo if none exists.\n\nLooks like there is a possibly-windows-specific issue here.\n\nThe test repo is a git repo with a couple of eclipse projects just\nbeneath the top-level. It can be checked-out from both Ubuntu\n(Karmic) and Windows (Vista), and in both cases the projects can be\nattached to the team provider from the \"import\" wizard.\n\nOn an Ubuntu box, I could use \"team/disconnect\", and then \"share\" to\nattach to \"../.git\", it worked like a charm. On the windows box\nhowever, reconnecting was not possible: the \"../.git\" line is not\nselectable. Note that it does read \"../.git\" and not \"..\\.git\".\n\n\nNote that on my \"mostly squeeze\" Debian box, the import would succeed,\nbut in that case none of the projects were attached to the team\nprovider. If afterwards I try to connect it, it silently does nothing.\n\nIn that case it may be a known bug: I have a ~/.git dir that is also\nseen by jgit, and which I am also proposed in the \"share\" dialog. If\nI move it away, the request to attach is successful.\n\nBest regards,\n-- \nYann\n"}]}
