How to setup an Eclipse Project with multiple Subp

问题:

Sherlog is an OSGi-based log analyzer, if I import this project as an workspace snapshot I receive lot's of projects in my workspace, but I would prefere to have them as subprojects in a project.

The other option would be to checkout from svn, but then I face other problems (I don't know how to setup the dependencies for automatically build)

Does anyone have an idea or good links on this topic? Thanks

Eclipse does not support subprojects. The Eclipse way of life is one or more projects in a workspace (perhaps using work sets to avoid seeing them all).

As a consequence we have established an approach where we switch workspaces when switching projects. Team Projects are nice for this for CVS. For git I do a separate clone for each workspace as the Maven support in Eclipse does not pick up changes in the pom hierarchy (like a new project) easily.

As of Eclipse 4.5 (starting from Mars M5) subprojects are supported. Either import a multi module maven project like here.

Or create a directory structure like this.

BaseProj
----.project
----JavaSubProject1
--------.project
--------.classpath
--------src
--------JavaSubProject2
------------.project
------------.classpath
------------src

Use 'File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace' and import only BaseProj. It will import all projects. Be sure to activate hierarhical view in Project Explorer.

Later edit - When using import dialog, check 'Search for nested projects' otherwise only BaseProj will be created.
