Using the Plug-In for Eclipse › Add Project Folders to the Workspace

Add Project Folders to the Workspace

You can add project folders (view paths) to the workspace. The repository settings you specify on this dialog become the initial context settings for the workspace project. You can edit these settings subsequently using the Edit Context menu option.

If you select a CA Harvest SCM process, its corresponding placement option is displayed as a check box button. For a check-out process, the check box represents the check-out mode for all other processes' placement options. The enabled state and selected state of the check box depends on the privileges assigned by the administrator, for example:

• If the OnTrunk check box is disabled and selected, you have the privilege to use the OnTunk placement option only.
• If the OnTrunk check box is disabled and not selected, you have the privilege to use the OnBranch placement option only.
• If the OnTrunk check box is enabled and selected, you have the the privilege to use either the OnTrunk or OnBranch placement options. When you click Next or Finish, the context placement option for that process is OnTrunk.
• If the OnTrunk check box is enabled and not selected, you have the the privilege to use either the OnTrunk or OnBranch placement options. When you click Next or Finish, the context placement option for that process is OnBranch.
