Re: [Subclipse-users] Subclipse is trashing my whole Eclipse installation

Hello

Thanks for the information. Actually, removing the .syncinfo did not help.
But I understood what was causing the problem. Before that I had an Eclipse
project in /basedirectory/anotherdirectory/PPH.

However; in my company we have lots of files anywhere in /basedirectory
(which is actually the base of our Subversion repository), and I wanted to
be able to edit them all. So today I created another Eclipse project in
/basedirectory.

Apparently this screwed up Subclipse since it had two projects containing
the same directory (and the same .svn thus), because my new project actually
contained my first.

I removed from Eclipse the new project I created today and everything went
back to normal.

Is this a known bug? Is this "acceptable" behavior? In this case how I am
suppose to do what I want within Eclipse?
