Eclipse keeps track of duplicate project


I want to make copy of an existing eclipse project A and customize it and check it in CVS as a second project B. So I manually copied the entire project A directory into another workspace and opened the project in eclipse. Made changes (removed bunch of files), now when I try to check it in CVS, it somehow recognize it as project A and not a new project B. Seems like I copied some file that tracks the root. How can I remove it so I can check in as project B in CVS?

Even if I try to import the projectB in a different workspace in eclipse, I get the message, project already existsand identifies it as projectA.


Solution

  • See if you can unshare the project through the UI. You likely have the original CVS directories that point back to the existing location.
