Project Files & Workspace Files

The 3rd demo on workspaces talks about keeping the project
files separate from the workspace files.
But it does not tell me why I would want to do that.
Does anyone know where I could find more info on the topic?
Thanks
Mathias

Hi,
The workspace files are used by Flex Builder to determine
which all projects reside within the workspace in addition to some
configuration data associated with them.
If you separate away the workspace files, you'll be able to
cleanly determine that All folders under xyz are flex projects
except for _workspace (or whatever you want) which is housekeeping
related to your projects. (Otherwise it would have been "except for
.metadata and configuration".)
The concept of a workspace is pretty powerful if you are
dealing with a lot of projects.
Some good info here:

Google for "eclipse workspaces" for more articles on the
subject.

Tutoring to start a workspace file with project file

I know that I should start with a workspace file and project file. It is in the past now.
I need to have a complete deployment to a customer PC.
I have TS 3.5 and LV 8.2    ( I don't have any CVI or extra DLL,...) just pure TS 3.5, LV8.2 and two excel properties files.
I have two sequence files and about 8 LV files.
I tested everything on the development PC and "good".
I need a tutoring for the workspace file and project file.
I open a new workspace and it ask for a project file and I don't have any project file...!!

1. In the deployment utility dialog go to the Installer options and click on the 'Drivers and Components' button.
2. The 'Dialog and Components' dialog is displayed. Check the 'Include Hardware Configuration from Measurement & Automation Explorer' box.
3. Browse for the hardware configuration file.
I am attaching the help related with this option (You can access the help by clicking on the Help button):
Include Hardware Configuration from Measurement & Automation Explorer—Specifies to include the hardware configuration in the installer.
Once you execute your custom installer on a target computer, and the system reboots, the installer attempts to import your Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) settings automatically. In many cases, this process occurs silently. However, certain configurations and import conditions require you to complete the import interactively as follows:
If your installer includes an NI device driver and you recently installed hardware on the target computer, you must complete the Add Hardware Wizard. In Windows, select Start»Control Panel and complete the Add Hardware Wizard before you import your MAX settings. The import process prompts you to wait until the Add Hardware Wizard completes before you proceed with the import.
If your installer is upgrading an existing NI device driver and the hardware was previously installed and operating properly on the target computer, the import process should complete automatically. The installer should not prompt you to complete the Add Hardware Wizard.
If the MAX import process encounters a conflict between the settings in your configuration file and the settings in the configuration file currently on the target computer, the installer prompts you to complete the import process interactively to resolve these differences.
Note  If you cancel the import process or the import fails, you can manually import the new configuration file once you correct the problem. Restart the import process by selecting File»Import from the menu within MAX.
Hardware Configuration File—Specifies the hardware configuration file to include with the installer. Click Browse to select another file or click New to export a new configuration file.
Note  This control is disabled if the Include Hardware Configuration from Measurement & Automation Explorer option is disabled.
Hope it helps.

Jdev 10.1.2 errors in making a project file/ repackaging into an ear file

Hi Guys
I am new to jdeveloper. I am using jdev 10g (10.1.2) for an old application modification and need help in running it.
I used ear files to create a workspace which was consisted of two projects. One was myfiles.jpr and the other-one myfiles-ear.jpr. I went into the htdocs of myfiles.jpr and modified some of the jsp files in one of them. Can you please tell how to repackage it into an ear file.
I tried to deploy it into an ear but I do not get the option for Deployment to an ear (right click on project, New, Deploy to an ear). I also tried to make the file and received a whole bunch of errors.
please help.
thanks!

As far as I know repackaging always means recompile the Java classes. If you only have changed jsps, you can try to just change the original ear file and deploy this.
Don't you have access to the original project or workspace?

TutWD_FlightList_Init .project file missing

Hello,
I am trying the TutWD_FlightList_Init tutorial.
I have downloaded the project.
For the first time I could successfully import this project into my workspace , however while creating model i was getting jjava.lang.NullPointerException.
So also when I tried to import this project for the second time into my workspace , while importing it said .project file missing.
Can anyone suggest the possible solutions to resolve the issues I am facing.
Thanks & Regards
Pooja

Hi,
Removing the .metadata folder and restarting NWDS fixed my NWDS as well.
I think you have to downloaded TutWD_FlightList_Init this application in SDN right. May be that application having some problem you can create application in own way. I think you are new to webdynpro JAVA right. Please read this [Document|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/web-dynpro-java/_web-dynpro-java/WDJava%20archive/Creating%20a%20Web%20Dynpro%20Application%20Accessing%20ABAP%20Functions.pdf]

Project file (.jpr) documentation

Hi,
Does anyone know where I could find specification/documentation for JDeveloper Project files(.jpr).
I'm not looking for documentation on usage, creating projects ...etc. but the nuts and bolts of jpr flie.
Thanks!

Create new project files with uploaded word document

How do I create a new project file with an uploaded word document. I tried to follow the guidelines using the Robohelp PDF file but after I upload the word document, I cannot see it in the workspace. Are there other steps to bring the document into Robohelp 9. I am using the trial version and have never used Robohelp before.
Thank you!

I was finally able to fix my problem and I hope to publish this in as many pages as I can. First I had the exact same issue. My file was password protected (the one I used as a shell for a new project) spent two hours of work, went home and next
day “Nothing” same errors. Cannot open file etc. etc. So after two hours searching the net I found this company that has a
Project Repair Toolbox that is cloud based for FREE (no useless downloads).
I went in > It asked me for the file that I had on my local drive > prompted me for the password and > BAM! the file opened right up. Since it as viewer only I was able to at least begin re-typing the project plan which was small in nature.
Check it out, hope it works for you.

No project files in Nav panel

Hi All
I've spent all afternoon now trying to figure out why all my
project files
disappeared from my Navigator panel. I have no idea what I
did to make them
disappear and I know that this is going to be an easy fix
which is why I
spent so much time trying to figure it out before asking. If
I use the
Import Existing projects into workspace I get an error saying
that they
already exist.
I must say, this is very frustrating.
Bill

Welcome to the forum.
The first thing I would do is create a new user name other
than your email address, unless you like spam. Email addresses
should never be visible on any forum.
Are you saying that bookmarks are showing in your source
files but not working in the output? They never did show in the
output in any version, you wouldn't want users to see them. What
you want is the links to show and go to the bookmark position. Or
maybe you cannot see the bookmarks in Project Manager? If so click
the funnel icon and see if Bookmarks is ticked.

10g Project File and Dependency Ordering

Hello,
We have multiple developers working on the same application. We are all using JDeveloper 10g (build 1618) on Windows 2000 and we are using ClearCase.
When are running into problems where JDeveloper wants to check out our main project file as soon as JDeveloper opens even though nothing should have changed. This happens when the developer was not the last one to check the file into ClearCase. When JDeveloper later saves the file it does not match the original file even thought the 2nd developer did not intentionally change anything. Sometimes JDeveloper also completely swaps the order of the dependencies when the save is done. This, of course, causes the project to not build and causes a lot of confusing and wasted time.
What can we do to avoid this? Why doesn't JDeveloper save the project file the same for each developer?
Thanks for your help,
Mike

Better do not checkin your JDev project (jpr) and workspace (jws) files in your version control system.
here Best practice: team based development with JDeveloper and CVS? are some tips about this for CVS usage (should also fir for Clearcase).

Organize Event Files VS Organize Project Files???

What is the difference between "Organize Event Files" and "Organize Project Files"?
I know that organizing your event files turns all the aliases into physical files on the selected drive, but what is going on in the background when you are organizing your project files???
Thanks,
Mikael

Hello mrbean,
I am sorry you seem to be having trouble with the deployment utility. Are you trying to deploy some sequence files, or only some LabVIEW VI's? When you add your sequence file to a workspace, and then use the deployment tool to analyze the workspace file, TestStand will check for dependencies of the code modules, and deploy them to a support folder on the deployment machine automatically. One very valuable resource for dealing with deployment issues is the TestStand manual, chapter 14. This manual can be found at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand x.x\Doc\Manuals\TestStandReferenceManual.pdf. Are there specific areas of the deployment that are giving you trouble that we may be able to give you more specific answers on?

Using iMovie to save project files to external hard drive?

I have a MacBook Pro with very limited space on the internal hard disk drive. I also have a few FireWire external hard drives.
A friend recently gave me his Hitachi DZ-HS300A mini-DVD camcorder so I could copy footage off of it, load it into my machine, edit it and upload it (several minutes) to YouTube. He can't do this because he lives in a remote area where there is no broadband yet.
I almost never use iMovie. I was wondering if there is a way to save the project file to an external FireWire drive so that there will be no large video files clogging up my laptop's internal hard drive. Can this be done? Is there an iMove preference I have to change?

You should generally leave the iMovie Project file on the boot drive. The Project File is mainly a small text file with in and out points.
The iMovie Event file is where the video assets are stored. You can store events to an external hard drive in two ways:
1) As you import from the camera, you will see an import screen. You can select the external drive on the import screen
2) If the event is already on your internal drive, you can click View/Events By Volume. Now you can drag and drop the event to the external drive in the Events SOurce List in iMovie.
For your external drive to be visible to iMovie, it must be formatted HFS+ or HFS+ (journalled).

"Unable to open project file" Error Message

I pulled an all-nighter (13 hours of editing) last night to create a critical project in FCE 3.5.1 on my Intel iMac running 10.4.11 then left this afternoon for a few hours and shut down my machine. Came back tonight and tried to open the project (which I saved on my Maxtor 1 TB external drive along with all of the scratch disk files). To my absolute panic, it won't open the file now with an error message that simply says, "Unable to open project file". HELP!!!! Anyone have any suggestions?!?!

In the past I found (and reported to Apple Feedback) the same bug Steve reports here, but I should recall that the problem:
- only appeared in PAL projects (probably not the case for kscritch) - never heard of it in NTSC
- was consistent in FCE 3.x, not so in FCE 4
I made tests importing .psd images with transparency into PAL projects using FCE 4, and I had various behaviours: sometimes the project worked, sometimes I couldn't open the project again (as in FCE 3), sometimes I had error messages with inconsistent behaviour (msg like "file error", but the project opened and file was there...), etc. so I decided to do without.
Now I only import .tif or .png images when I need transparency

"Unable to Open Project File" - error

Does anyone know how to resolve an "Unable to Open Project File" - error. I accidentally shut down my computer wrong, although Final Cut wasn't open.

Welcome to the forums.
The project file might have gotten corrupted. Look for the AUTOSAVE VAULT (typically in the DOCUMENTS>FINAL CUT PRO DOCUMENTS folder) and open the most recent version. Copy it to your main project folder if it works.
If not, then try trashing your prefs with FCP Rescue.

Error reading project file : no protocol

I have followed the instructions exactly as in the j2ee tutiorial ,but, when I run asant , an error occurs:
: Error reading project file : no protocol: ../../common/targets.xml
Urgent!

Could you please provide a bit more detail such as which sample you are using? Also are you using the latest version of the tutorial and have you configured your build.properties in the samples/common directory?

Using a JAR file as a project file

My application allows the user to create projects. Previously, a project file was simply an XML file. Now, a project file needs to also contain many images.
I thought it would be a good idea to simply use a JAR file as my project file.
Since I've really never really worked with JAR files and the java.util.Jar package directly, I have a few questions.
1) Would it be better just to simply store the images as binary in the XML file? I just spent a good amount of time making the XML file very readable so I thought it would be better to keep the images separate while still having a single "project" file.
2) Is there anything inherently wrong with the way I'm working with the JAR file in the code below?
Simple XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ELEMENT project (img+)>
<!ELEMENT img EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST img src CDATA #REQUIRED>
]>
<project>
     <img src="blah.jpg"/>
</project>
import java.io.*;
import java.util.jar.JarFile;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
public class LoaderTest {
    private String imageName;
    public LoaderTest() {
        InputStream i = null;
        JarFile jf = null;
        try {
            jf = new JarFile("project.jar");
            i = jf.getInputStream(jf.getJarEntry("project.xml"));
            // Here's my simple XML parser to load the project and images
            SAXParser parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
            parser.parse(new InputSource(i), new DefaultHandler() {
                @Override
                public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
                    // Right now we only care about images
                    if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("img")) {
                        imageName = attributes.getValue("src");
            // Load the image from the inputstream
            java.awt.image.BufferedImage img = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(jf.getInputStream(jf.getJarEntry(imageName)));

            ex.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            // Do our best to close the input streams
            if (i != null) {
                try {
                    i.close();
                } catch (IOException ex) {}
            if (jf != null) {
                try {
                    jf.close();
                } catch (IOException ex) {}
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new LoaderTest();
}Thank you!

1) I also think it's much better to keep your images separate from your XML, this prevents a lot of in case you just want to read XML data
2) What's exactly going wrong here? For the project.xml, make sure it's not inside a directory within the JAR file, or else the variable i will be null. Otherwise it looks fine..
