Workspace for IDE?

Question

Eclipse

Some IDEs like Eclipse and CodeLite require them to create some kind of workspace where they shove their files and projects there. But I do not want IDE files lying around in my "Projects" folder - they interfere with me there. How to be? Is it possible to somehow configure them to store their files somewhere else where I will never see them?

Answer 1

Okay, I guess I'll just hide those folders. In Windows, this is done with one click, and in Linux, I found this way: create a .hidden file and add the necessary folders and files to it.

Answer 2

As far as I remember, eclipse allows you to create a workspace separately, and a project - separately - in a different way.

Answer 3

NetBeans allows you to store a project's service folder in any directory. If eclipse does not have this, then it seems to me that the desired behavior can be organized by links.

Answer 4

Use source control, and add these IDE files to .*ignore.
Then they won't bother you.
