Workspace

The workspace represents your local working directories. The root resource located in the workspace is named a project. Projects are considered to be one unit of work in the Eclipse architecture.

To work on resources you must add the corresponding project to your workspace from the CA Harvest SCM repository. Adding a project to the workspace imports the project from the CA Harvest SCM server to your local workspace. When a project is initially created, a .project file is created that describes attributes of the project such as compilation type. When you share the project by checking it in for the first-time, the .project file is checked in. Adding the project to your workspace checks out the .project file, ensuring that the correct metadata is used.

When adding resources to your workspace, you are prompted to overwrite the existing workspace project in your local directory with the one from the repository, if you previously added one.

You can replace resources in your workspace with the latest CA Harvest SCM versions by using the Replace With process, available from the shortcut menu.

You can edit and delete file resources in your workspace. When you save changes to your workspace projects, these changes are saved on your local computer.
