Title: Import code from directory into different packages
Post by: survex on April 09, 2015, 12:38:29 am

Say I have code in Z:\code.

I'm adding package A in EA and import code from Z:\code into A - it works fine, great!
Then I add package B and import code from Z:\code into B - B remains empty.

So I can't add to same file as different classes in EA?
Is there any way to hack it?

What you are seeing is correct. EA will update the original elements instead of creating new ones.

The best "hack" I can think of is to create a local path before importing the first time. Before importing a second time, change the local path to point to a different location. This will tell EA that the classes it is seeing are different from the ones already there.

Thank you! I'm solving this problem in similar way, just creating symlink for each code importing in EA, e.g.
A -> A1 (symlink) -> import in EA package A1
A -> A2 (symlink) -> import in EA package A2
