Description Ed Willink

2011-11-07 16:36:09 EST

Googling for PSFs find the old format with ||

Downloading the egit.psf works, but it is not clear how to use a PSF for a hierarchical GIT in which plugins are in plugins/* etc.

Where is the documentation?

AFAIK GitProjectSetCapabilty should handle these just fine. Robin, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Ed, is this bugzilla about not being able to import such PSFs or missing doc?

If we're talking about multiple .project files that are not at the root of the Git repository, yes, GitProjectSetCapability can handle it.

As for creating a .psf, the easiest way is to export from an existing workspace (with the Git projects).

Once there is some new documentation (and the old 'documentation' has been superseded) a new Bugzilla might  be raised on the import. But for now I am unable to work out how to make anything work.

I now documented them here:

Does this answer all your questions? Please reopen if something is not clear.

Thanks. It might help to add a link to a description of the generic PSF documentation. I've never managed to find it.

No that's the useless one. You would never find out about WorkingSets from it.

I want to see the PSF meta-model/schema.
