Clone project with eclipse?
The project folder contains a file called .project
. In your cloned project, open that file with any text editor and look for the project name:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
<name>LeadoMat</name>
<!-- more stuff here -->
</projectDescription>
Change the content of the name
element to LeadoMat_Ver2
. You should now be able to import the project into Eclipse.
The simplest approach would probably be to do the copying right in eclipse
:
Right Click your Project -> Copy
Right Click in the Project Explorer -> Paste
or
CTRL + C & CTRL + V
Eclipse will then automatically prompt you to enter a new name for the clone. Then you'll have a full copy of your project with the new name.
The reason why eclipse
thinks that it is the same project, is because you also clone the .project
-files which contain the name of the project used in eclipse
.
