Cloning a Project from an Existing Project

SoftBench allows you to clone existing projects. Cloning uses an existing project definition as the basis for a new project. The cloning process copies only the SoftBench description of the file set, target list, and build configurations. It does not copy the physical project source and target files.

See “One Project, Many Authors” on page 27 for a diagram of using cloning.

To clone a project:

1.Choose "Project: New → Clone…".

2.In the "Clone Project" dialog box, provide the project name, your local workspace root, and descriptive comment. choose a different local workspace root for the cloned project; otherwise you might overwrite files or targets unintentionally.

3.Select the project from the "Project to Clone" list.

If the project you are cloning is not in the list, then change the project search path:

a.Enter the new "Project Search Path".

b.Select Search for Projects to update the "Project to Clone" list.

c.Select the project to clone.

For example, if you are cloning a project created by a coworker, you need to tell SoftBench where the coworker's project definitions are located. By default, SoftBench stores project definitions under $HOME/.softbench.
