I have moved my DBeaver settings from old laptop to new one, ie. I found the workspace6 folder and copied everything into new laptop including the Scripts folder.
After I started the DBeaver on new laptop I saw all the connections BUT when I open some connection and hit F3 to Open SQL Script all I found is empty list.
To make sure everything is located correctly I created new script and saved it using Ctrl+S to see where it will be stored. Then I found the new script in the same folder as the other scripts that are "invisible". So the path is correct and is readable/writable by DBeaver.
Is there a way how to migrate the binding/ownership of connection to the existing scripts?
Note I want to avoid manual binding aka script-by-script since I have 10+ connections with 100+ scripts.
Finally I take opposite approach to migrate the DBeaver from old laptop to new one, ie. not doing it via copying the workspace but to use Export/Import feature from GUI.
Clearing the workspace
You may skip this step. I did it not to mess up my already partly migrated settings with new settings to be imported I decided to clear the DBeaver workspace first, i.e. I found the workspace location within the DBeaver settings and manually deleted the General folder in there. The path to the workspace can be found in Preferences > General > Workspace
Old laptop
Export
open DBeaver menu File > Export
choose export wizard DBeaver > Project
select project to be exported [x] General
set the output file name and directory
click Finish
This will create a file named General-yyymmdd.dbp
New laptop
Import
open DBeaver menu File > Import
choose Import wizard DBeaver > Project
select the file to import and select the project to be imported [x] General
click Finish
Set active project
In case of using multiple Projects set one active
open DBeaver menu Window > Show view > Projects
right click the Project and set Set Active Project
Delete project
only in case you have obsolete project and need to delete them.
Only inactive projects can be deleted!
To make the project inactive may need to set as an active project any other project and then you will be able to delete the inactive project
open DBeaver menu Window > Show view > Projects
right click the Project and select Delete
un/check the option Delete project content on disk
Restart the DBeaver
might not be needed but I just want to make sure it rereads all the settings.
Solved
Now I can see all the Connections, Diagrams, Bookmarks, and Scripts in Window > Show view > Project Explorer AND all the scripts related to each connection after pressing the F3 button.

The weird part is I can see my projects through package explorer.
I can also export them.
But when I want to access them elsewhere e.g windows explorer, they are not there.
All I see is .metadata folder.
An unexpected shutdown of the system occurred not too long ago.
Edit: When I switched the workspace, created and opened a project, they're still not visible/accessible outside of the eclipse project explorer.
Any ideas?
You most likely haven't ticked "Copy projects into workspace" checkbox option.
File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace:
It is possible that the projects were not put into the default, workspace folder.
To check this, right click on such a project, select Properties (it is usually available at the bottom of the list), go to the Resources tab, where you have the location of the project files displayed.
Obviously, there is a problem with Windows explorer and OneDrive in particular.
When I navigate to C:/Users/username/OneDrive/Documents/workspace or through command line I do see my eclipse projects.
But when I try to use 'Open file..' option from any application or navigate through Windows explorer, projects are not recognized nor displayed.
I am interested in using Epic for Perl development as my background is Java. So I have installed Epic in my Eclipse.
There is already a source code repository with perl scripts in a remote file system.
My question is, if I mount the remote file system how am I supposed to use Eclipse to work on the scripts?
In Java there files would be under a project (with the corresponding files).
I see that there is an equivalent Eclipse Project in the Eclipse menu after installing Epic.
So how would I access the perl scripts? Some how add them under a new project?
First map your network drive/mount your remote file system.
Go to File -> New -> Perl Project (or project and then select Perl from the list), name it, click Finish.
Right click on the project in your Navigator Tab and click Import...
Under General select File System, click next.
Click browse and select your file system, this will be the one on your remote machine.
Check the files you want to import.
Expand the Advanced Tab and check "Create links in workspace." (This part is the trick to edit the files on your remote machine instead of copying them locally and having two locations)
Click Finish.
Please comment if you have any questions, I set this up a while ago and I believe that's what I did but it's not currently working on my machine.
When I make changes to my working directory outside of Eclipse, in particular when I update my project under version control, newly added files will frequently not show up in the package explorer. Usually they'll show up after about 5 or so minutes (no idea why) but today it's been an hour and I kind of need these files so it's getting to be a problem. I tried:
restarting eclipse
cleaning and building the project
opening one of the missing files using File > Open File
The last of these opened the file but didn't get it to show up in the package explorer, and the type represented by that class was still invisible to other classes. Any thoughts?
As discovered, you need to refresh your workspace or project to see changes made to the filesystem outside of eclipse.
The eclipse workspace manages access to the files it controls, fires deltas on file changes to allow incremental builders to operate, etc.
The way to refresh the workspace is to select your project name in Package Explorer and press F5.
I generally have my working projects sitting on folders on my Desktop. When they are completed I just move them to a c:\dev\. The thing is I'm doing it in a rather archaic way.
1. move project files
2. delete project on Eclipse
3. create new project on Eclipse on the new location
How to you guys move projects around?
If I could alter the: File -> Properties -> Resource -> Location path it would be dead simple!
Example move:
c:\user\desktop\project_123
c:\dev\project_123
Right click on the Eclipse project in the Package Explorer, select Refactor, then select Move... In the dialog that comes up, enter or navigate to the new location and click OK. This will also preserve your CVS or other SCM metadata, but will also bring all your modifications as well, and you won't lose any memberships in Working Sets, launch configurations, or other things that Eclipse associates with your project.
Use Eclipse's Move menu item
Open Navigator view, right click on your project and click Move. Then select the destination directory.
Navigator View > Right Click > Move
Note it doesn't seem to work in Package Explorer (at least not in Neon). The move dialog from Package Explorer is different, so use the Navigator window.
I don't know whether eclipse has made modifs since the date of this post...
In my case I had moved a project folder manually and I wanted Eclipse to open the project on this new location. This is what I did (and it seems to work).
(I'm using eclipse "helios" v 3.6.2)
File menu | Import ...
General | Existing projects into Workspace
Select root directory = top directory of your project on the new location
Finish
I rarely have any projects in Eclipse that aren't under source control, so all I would need to do is check the project out in the new location.
If you don't have source control, Eclipse works with CVS rather well out of the box, and it's pretty simple to setup CVS to run locally without a server: http://www.tortoisecvs.org/faq.html#cvsinit
WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE FAILS:
Copying an Eclipse project from one directory (let's call it old_dir) to another directory (let's call it new_dir):
Open Eclipse and specify the copied working directory in your new_dir.
Once it opens the project in the this new_dir, the projects listed under Project Explorer Tab might still be the ones contained in the old_dir (you can check it by right clicking each and following through: "Resource -> Linked Resource" to see the Path Variables values). Thus, they have to be removed from this work space. Delete the Nios 2 Application Project and the BSP Project from the Project Explorer Tab by right clicking on it and selecting Delete option which will pop a new window. In the pop-up window, make sure that the Delete project contents on disk check box is UNCHECKED before clicking OK to delete the Projects. Otherwise, it will delete it from the old_dir where you copied the project from.
Right click in the Project Explorer Tab Area → Import → General → Existing Projects into Workspace and add the copied Nios2 Application Project and the BSP Project from the new_dir.
Right click in the Project Explorer Tab Area → Index → Rebuild, otherwise the Nios2 Application Project will not be able to use the includes provided by the BSP Project.
Click on Project → Clean → OK to clean and rebuild the whole project.
When using console to talk to the NIOS, make sure elf's path is updated to the new project directory as well!
Right click on your project->copy.
right click in project explorer free space and right click->pase.
chose new folder and project name.
I copied the whole project to a new directory. After setting Eclipse to the new workspace it recognises the project instantly. Thus it was nothing further to do. I use Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, Version Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2).
For Eclipse Oxygen, to move a Java project, djb's accepted answer works well (in my experience just now), except having read comment by Basic May 14 '12 at 9:27, I tried to add my project XMLDiff to C:...\SVN\trunk\Internal Projects, and I got a failure with the rather cryptic message:
Problems encountered while moving resources.
Resource already exists on disk.
I had to move the project to C:...\SVN\trunk\Internal Projects\XMLDiff by creating a new folder, XMLDiff, in the browse dialog, and the result was C:...\SVN\trunk\Internal Projects\XMLDiff, not C:...\SVN\trunk\Internal Projects\XMLDiff\XMLDiff.
So this must have changed between Basic's experience in 2012 and Eclipse.3.
For Eclipse Oxygen
Project Properties -> Resource -> Linked Resources -> Linked Resources (Tab)
I want to create a project that uses source files already on my filesystem, but the IDE always wants to create a directory and make a second copy of all the source.
This has always annoyed me about Aptana and Eclipse, is there a workaround for this?
I am using Aptana Studio 3 on my mac and the way I do it is:
Click on File
Select Import from the dropdown menu
Select the General tab and open it, you will see the option Existing Folder as New Project
Select it and click on Next
On the next page select the folder where you have the old project files, name the new project(if you want to change it). You can also select the languages that you have used on the project.
Click Finish and you are set to go.
One small addendum, the existing folder doesn't actually need to be in your workspace. I have several projects in my workspace but also several located elsewhere for assorted reasons.
have the files in a directory under your workspace
use "create project" and change the default folder to the one created above.
I too wasn't aware of how to do this..
But i tried this way and it worked..
Step 1: Try to create new workspace with the name and location as you wish
Step 2: click new->Java Project
Step3: In the create a Java Project Window select the option for Creating from existing Resource" and select the resource you want
Step4: You can see the project name as automatically set by itself based on the folder containing the project that you select.
Step5: click finish
Step 6: I guess, you need to open Navigator view(Window->show view-> navigator) for best viewing
Hope this works gud.. Post here if its not working,..
There is a checkbox named "Prompt for workspace on startup". It's in Window -> Preferences -> General -> Startup and Shutdown -> Workspaces. If you check this, on next Aptana startup you will be prompted to define a new Default workspace directory which would be your default projects folder.
There is also another way to do that.
Create an empty project (right-click in the Project Window and go to "New->Project" and then "General->Project" and click "Next", after that type in a project name and click "Finish").
Add a new connection to this project (right-click on "Connections" and then "Add New Connection"). The "Source" should be your project and the "Destination" should be the type "Filesystem" with a folder of your choice.
Finished.
I only use that method in very rare cases, as example, if u need a simple file-reference of any folder on your harddrive or if you need an overall file-reference to your workspace folder which contains all project folders, etc..
This answer by no means solves the issue above in Aptana but if you are in a rush, try using FreeCommander http://www.freecommander.com. It is a dual pane file manager with a slew of options. I have been using it for almost 3 years and there is never a day I don't use it.
What I did for now, is I allowed Aptana to create a folder in the workspace at the same level as the original folder I would like to use. Using FreeCommander I then have the original (src) folder in one pane with the new folder (dst) in the other pane.
I then manually copy (F5) or use FreeCommander's built in sync function (Alt + s) so that both folders have the same contents at all times.
Again, not the right answer but a workaround as work needs to be done. Cheers.
