Where does the CCS Workbench store the list of projects it contains?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

I want to be able to archive all my source and configuration information, and I had expected that the Project Explorer view would be populated from the subdirectories of the Workbench's directory ${WORKSPACE_LOC}.  However, since projects can reside elsewhere but still appear in the view, the workbench's Project Explorer view must be loaded from a list somewhere, whose file presumably may contain other Workbench information as well.  I poked around the metadata subdirectory but didn't see anything.  Is there a list somewhere of the files I would need to archive in order to be able to reproduce an active workbench and its projects from a freshly-downloaded controlSUITE?

Thanks,

Bruce

  • Hi Bruce,

    the .metadata folder inside your workspace folder has all of that information. I suppose you can back that up though I would rather have you backup workspace properties via 'File -> Export -> General -> Preferences'. This would not keep track of projects though and you would have to re-import those.

    fyi - i see the list of projects in .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects

    Thanks
