[p4] Eclipse plugin - keeps saying '{path} not under client'sroot'- stumped

[steve@vance.com]

Hmmm. Curious.

I've generally just created a new workspace for virtual machines. You
should definitely try that if you can.

Yes, this is essentially what AltRoots was created for, although not
precisely in this configuration. I haven't tested AltRoots with P4WSAD. If
it works from the command line, I would give support a bug report and see
what they say.

You definitely don't want a Host. The host and guest machines are two
different machines from Perforce's perspective. You need an empty Host
field to share the workspace.

Thanks for the reply Steve. It works fine from the command line. I
just double checked and from the command line I can open a file for
edit, but from Eclipse I can't seem to right click and open the file
for edit without getting that 'not under client's root' error.

Well, my first choice was to NOT have to link up to the same windows
repository. What I WANT to have is a separate local repo on the
windows machine and another repo on the linux share. Form what I've
been reading this isn't really what altroots is for? (although the
docs don't seem to be too clear on it.)

Do I need to define a host to make this work? At one point I had put
in a host that was my workspace name and then I removed it. Maybe I
need to do something with that?

It's a shame it works from the command line and not from within
Eclipse. (Is there a way to get a nice view like the "check
consistency" feature gives you in the eclipse plugin from teh command
line? It didn't look like the dif feature was smart enough to set
things up for add/remove/edit but maybe I'm just missing it? (I'd
still like to get the plugin to work if possible.) Thanks again.
