Description Joerg Reichert CLA 2011-02-13 09:53:56 EST 
Build Identifier: RCP-TRUNK-113

The projects are imported as empty category folders and the following error dialog is shown:
'Building workspace' has encountered a problem

Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'org.eclipse.remus.core.internal.builder.InformationBuilder' on project 'Gemeinsam'.
java.lang.NullPointerException

When I am using switch workspace and redirect to the other workspace, the information structure is shown correctly. But the import of a information project does not work. I guess there is a issue with the metadata. Maybe it also something to do with different RIM versions, as the first workspace is created by an older version. 

Reproducible: Always

Yes as part of the migration to Eclipse all namespaces has changed from org.remus.infomngmnt to org.eclipse.remus including the metadata of the project. A possible workaround is to share your data with a local file repository. In the new version it should be possible to synchronize these old elements with the current version.
Comment 2 Tom Seidel CLA 2011-02-19 09:44:01 EST 
Backward-Compatibility to workspaces using the old namespace (before becoming an Eclipse project) is out of scope.
Comment 3 Joerg Reichert CLA 2011-02-21 17:33:29 EST 
I could import my old data via the proposed shared local file repository, so migration to the new version was no problem.
