Adding Repository Projects to your Workspace

To work on a project or stream that already exists in the Dimensions CM repository, you must add the project to your local Eclipse workspace.

To add existing repository projects to your workspace:

1. In Serena Explorer, expand the Repository Project node.

2. Do any of the following:

• Select an existing project under Eclipse Project Groups, and click Add to Workspace. This will add all of the child projects to your workspace. The Eclipse project name will be taken from the .project file or from the metadata.

• Select an existing project or stream and click Add to Workspace. The Eclipse project name will be taken from the .project file or from the metadata.

• Select an existing project or stream and click Add to Workspace As. This option allows you to choose the type of Eclipse project that the added project will be.

For example, after selecting Add to Workspace As, select the option "Add as a Project Configured Using the New Project Wizard." This option allows you to create an Eclipse project with a type of your choice. Note that this option is only available if a repository project being added does not already contain a .project file in its root directory.

• Select an entire project container or a specific project under Eclipse Project Containers. If you select a project container, all projects within the container are added.

• Select a project or baseline under Other Baselines or Other Projects, and click Add to Workspace. If there is not already an Eclipse project file for this project, a name will be generated from the product_projectid for the new Eclipse project. You can change the automatically generated name.

  TIP   You can add multiple projects to your workspace at once by using the CTRL key to select multiple projects.

3. Navigate to the directory that you want to copy the project and files to and click OK.

The Create Project dialog appears where you can enter the project details.
