hi,
I have a java project which I configured in eclipse (helios).it has a
src folder containing the java packages of my code.I want to share
this to others using subversion..However when I checked the
src/.classpath file ,I find that the required jars which I have put in
a lib directory are represented by their absolute paths.
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="/home/me/dev/java/mycode_ver2/lib/
required.jar"/>
This makes it difficult for another person to import my project.I wish
I could represent these jars by relative paths .Do I need to manually
edit the .classpath file to do this?Or is there another way?
First of all, do NOT put the IDE-specific files (such as ".classpath")
in the trunk of your version control.
The problem is exactly as you describe - they're specific to your
environment.
Instead, check in an Ant build.xml that specifies the dependencies.
You should never, ever, ever, EVER use IDE-specific artifacts to drive
your build!
