Eclipse Wish List

A few days ago I wrote about importing an EJB client project into Eclipse from Subversion. Unfortunately it’s not as easy as I thought. My goal was to import both the EJB project and the EJB client jar project and create an ear file from the two. While it’s possible to to check out both projects from Subversion getting them to work together in my workspace is not straight forward. With the client project checked out it is not possible to create an EJB client jar project via the Eclipse interface because a project with that name already exists. If I specify a different name during client jar creation then it’s a different client project associated with the EJB project than the one in Subversion. Since it’s not the one in Subversion then it’s not worth creating an EJB client jar from the Eclipse interface. On the other hand if I check out the EJB client project from Subversion then it’s not associated with the EJB project as a client jar. I’m not sure how else to proceed with attaining the desired outcome here. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.  I have updated my wiki page on this as well.
