Eclipse workspace location - best practice
eclipse, java, svn, workspace
Solution
You shouldn't point the workspace directly to the directory of the checked out code. Say you have your workspace located at C:\workspace, then I would check out the project in C:\workspace\project.
On the other hand, it doesn't really make a difference of you would check out your code to another location, say C:\projects. Anyway, I don't see any bad practice with either way to do it.
Problem
I check out a java project to a folder. Someone told me that I shouldn't point the eclipse workspace to this directory. Is there a best practice for this? Should you use the svn checkout dir or a dedicated one? And why? Thanks!
