You might wonder why I like to wipe clean my workspaces?
On projects I read mostly I tend to need to jump to different
branches, often far in time, in which the source code organization is
likely different, so I'd need to re-import projects in all IDE anyway.
Why not have multiple checkout for the main lines? I also have to
jump between branches and having for example a 3.x maven checkout and a 4.x gradle
checkout
works like a charm. depending on what I am after I am opening the appropriate project.
Sure, git makes changing branches easy within the same checkout, but that does
not mean that it always makes sense and I don't think the disc space you save by
having the single
checkout is worth considering.
Frankly this "least pain" strategy for the occasional
contributor is
what I still consider an nice point of Maven.
Come on, there is enough pain with maven as well.
