Hi Denise,

I'm in the process of migrating our frameworks and apps from Xcode
to Eclipse and WOLips. We use Perforce for SCM, so my Perforce
workspace is at a particular location on my machine (/Users/dhoward/
DevP4) and Xcode is fine with that. I need my Eclipse workspace for
a given project to continue talking to Perforce. I already
discovered that the /tmp/migrations directory where the
XcodeMigration tool constructs its Eclipse versions of Xcode
projects is not a good final destination. How can I do this? Must
I reorganize the file structure of the project as it is in Perforce
now?
I strongly suggest that you do the opposite: reorganize the structure
of the project in Perforce to match the Eclipse project. The layout
is a convention supported by the standard Ant builds. You can change
it, but you are going to be working against the tools.
We actually use ant to do our builds, both for local testing and for
deployment. Perhaps I just need to somehow ensure that Eclipse uses
the ant build scripts we have already, and the project structure
will be okay as it is?
You can set Eclipse up to do all builds with Ant and not the
Incremental Builder. I do this as I want to use a code generation
tool. I do NOT recommend this unless you get real value from doing
this. Avoiding a re-org in Perforce is NOT real value. The
incremental builder is much faster and gives a better development
experience. And even using all Ant builds, I am still moving my
structure toward the conventional structure from a modern WOLips. I
expect that this convention will be more and more supported by the
tools and there are benefits to adhering to it.
