pydev and the src directory vs. scm

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to transition to eclipse+pydev but am having a problem importing projects under scm. My old projects (and also projects on github) don't have the "src" parent directory that pydev seems to really like.

If I use egit or subclipse to import/check out the project, the pydev environment is incomplete. If I externally check out the source and move it into place, I don't seem to be able to tell eclipse it's SCM'd.

I would think this is a FAQ, but I can't figure it out. What is the best practice to use SCM'd projects under eclipse that aren't SCM'd as eclipse projects.

Thanks. Kent

Choose the properties for the project. Then change the pydev-PYTHONPATH - remove the src entry and then add the directory of your project that contains the source.
