[jbosstools-users] JBDS 8 - GIT plugin won't add an existing local repository

[Mickael Istria]

That's the first time I hear about such layout. What's the benefit of this approach versus importing projects from "regular" Git repositories (referencing them, not copying them) in workspace? I don't know whether EGit support thie approach you mention, I'm afraid it does not, and it will require to find a .git folder in the project or a parent to understand how to connect to Git. Cf https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#Eclipse_Workspace_and_Repository_working_directory The only suggestion I can make is that you try the regular approach, that seems to be simpler and better integrated in EGit (and other tools I imagine).
