#46 work with existing repos

[fred]

So, I have some existing path which maps to perforce.
P4 whatever work correctly.

Now, I define such a path as an eclipse project &
import it into my workspace. Still OK.

Now, I want to use p4eclipse to work with perforce
here. I can "share" the project, but it doesn't seem
to do anything. In particular, it doesn't seem to know
that the source files within are under perforce control.

team->add to Source Control fails (since it's already
in P4).

but Open/edit is never available. I just want to use
eclipse & with p4 atop an existing directory structure.

Did you try a manual Team->Refresh after "sharing" the project? Why
don't you use "Checkout" from the Perforce perspective?

I've done the team->refresh to no avail. I've tried
checking out the project from the perforce perspective with
& w/o .project/.classpath files. No change. At no time
does my eclipse project show up in the list of projects in
the perforce perspective.

I didn't see a Checkout command anywhere in the perforce
perspective. This could be because I have no projects there.

It seems like the system wants to find a .project/.classpath
in perforce. Since we are operating as a team and each
person has slightly different requirements for these files,
it really doesn't make much sense to save them in perforce,
at least not in our environment.

Thanks for the quick response. I'd like to figure out how
to make this work...
