Copy a Project

If you want to use a project as a starting point for a new project, you can make a copy of a project. Not only a copy of a project is made, but also the project specific filenames and settings will reflect the new project name.

To copy a project:

  1. In the C/C++ Projects view, right-click on the project myproject and select Copy.

  2. In the C/C++ Projects view, right-click on the project myproject and select Paste.

    The Copy Project dialog appears.

  3. Enter a name for your new project, for example Copy of myproject.

    In the Location field you will see the location where the copy of your project will be stored. To change the default location, you can uncheck the Use default location check box and browse for an alternative location. However, use the default location for now.

  4. Click OK to continue.

    Eclipse makes a copy of the project, renames the LSL file and updates the project configuration and launch configurations. In the C/C++ Projects view the project Copy of myproject is now visible as a closed map and is the active project.
