I have an Eclipse workspace set up on one of my two work machines. The entire workspace is synched with a subversion repository and all projects and settings (including metadata) within the workspace are stored in the repository.
I recently installed Eclipse on my second machine and created a new working copy folder that I check out to the same repository. When I opened Eclipse and set the workspace to the local working copy folder, none of the project appeared in my package explorer.
I am still new to Eclipse and Subversion, but I would assume that as long as the workspace metadata and settings are in the working copy folder Eclipse should see them.
How do I create an exact duplicate of the original workspace on the second machine and keep the two in sync with Subversion?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
UPDATE: Apparently the answer provided by @Kos is the only way I have found to recreate a copy of the workspace in another working copy. Even though my .metadata folder is under version control as well, when I checkout a new working copy Eclipse does not recognize the checked out .metadata folder.
Import the projects to the workspace using File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace.
Uncheck copy projects into workspace because they are physically there already.
