PI60975: INVALID PROJECT DESCRIPTION ERROR WHEN IMPORTING A RHAPSODY MODEL INTO ECLIPSE

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When importing a Rhapsody model into Eclipse with the Rhapsody
  Platform Integration plugin installed, the user encounters an
  error stating "Invalid Project Description" and "<Project_name>
  overlaps the location of another project <same project_name>"
  
  This error can appear for a variety of different scenarios but
  it is not an accurate error in the following scenario:
  
  1) The name of the folder that contains the Rhapsody model is
  different from the name of the Rhapsody model itself, e.g.
  C:\MyRhapsodyProject\HelloWorld.rpy instead of
  C:\HelloWorld\HelloWorld.rpy
  2) The user copies this folder into their workspace prior to
  importing it, e.g. C:\MyWorkspace\MyRhapsodyProject
  
  In this scenario, the user should be informed that the folder
  name should match the project file name.
