[yocto] Yocto Bitbake Commander New Project Bug

[Zhang, Jessica]

This is a bug that due to upstream code.  To avoid the bug, don't use the
directory to host the poky directory under workspace or ~/runtime-Eclipse,
but instead use your home directory $HOME...

Also, as Alex mentioned, for project put the name of directory of your
cloned yocto metadata, e.g. poky, for the location, choose the directory
where the metadata directory is under.  For example, if your metadata is
$HOME/poky, put poky as project name, the location as $HOME.

Thanks,
Jessica

Hi Jate,
You can try mentioning in the project name the actual poky directory name
(in your case: poky) and in the project path the location where "poky" is
located (your case: ~/workspace/). That should work.

Creating a Yocto Bitbake Commander project using an existing poky directory
is a little buggy. I usually do this to avoid downloading poky from the
Internet.

The plugin wizard implies that you can use a poky directory in your
workspace with its clone from yocto repository option.

Attempting to use a cloned poky in workspace/poky results in the wizard
reporting that ".../workspace/poky overlaps the location of another project:
poky." Changing the name of the project merely results in the error
"Directory ...workspace/poky2 does not exist, please select git clone".

The workaround is to open a separate dummy workspace, and then run the
wizard with Project Location pointing to your desired Project Location. You
will then be able to hit Finish. Eclipse will create the .metadata and
.eclipse-data files.

You can then switch to your desired workspace and use "Import an Existing
Project."

Is this a bug?
