If your suggestion means to have two copies of the code at the lower-level, once in the top-level project, and once in the separately imported project, then that doesn't do me much good. That would mean I'd have to change both copies each time I made a change. I know this, as that's what I was doing before. In any case, I guess I've found a reasonable compromise. I deleted the project that was pointing at the lower level, and I now have just the top-level aggregator. At least with this I can do "Open Type", and it will find the Java classes in the lower levels. Where this causes problems is that it won't let me use this project to create a Debug configuration (it's not in the list, perhaps because it doesn't think it's a Java project). Instead, I simply created a debug configuration from some project, it doesn't matter which one, and then I added source folders to the debug configuration. I now only have one copy of the source, and I can set breakpoints in the Java code. > -- > Sent from my SGS > > "KARR, DAVID" <[email protected]> wrote: > > >I have one m2e project checked out from svn which is an aggregator > >project.
