Description Jal

2011-02-25 11:01:05 EST

Build Identifier: Version: Helios Service Release 1 Build id: 20100917-0705

Scenario:

The local repo has two branches, branch1 and branch2. branch1 has three Eclipse projects, p1, p2 and p3, branch2 has one project, p3.

When branch1 is checked out, all projects are visible.
Checkout branch2, and only p3 is visible.

So far, so good.

Now, checkout branch1 again, and _only_ p3 is visible (for Eclipse). To make p1 and p2 visible again, I have to do File, Import, etc. and Team, Share etc. again.

This workaround has to be done every time I switch from a branch2 to branch1 checkout. In a bug that looks similar, the existence of .project is questioned. We checked, and .project is present in all branches, so that shouldn't be the cause.

For us this is really a showstopper, we're considering using Git and a condition is that our developers can use it from within Eclipse.

The problem occurs on both Windows and Ubuntu Linux, the EGit plugin version is 0.11.3

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See details for a use case.
