I'm currently working on 4 different Java Project in the same workspace and whenever I export one of the project, is has the file location and file name as the last export I did, even when its from a different project.

Is there an option in eclipse to change the default file location and file name for the export for each project?


C:/projects/exports/foo.jar is set as the default location to export to even though I am exporting a different project that I want to be at C:/projects/exports/bar.jar

Thanks in advance!

How are you exporting the projects? –  user626607 Feb 27 '13 at 23:02

The stock eclipse installation does not provide a way of setting default export locations.

Try File -> Export functionality stores the list of the last exported locations, you can re-use those.

edited question slightly, I want the default location for each project to be different so I don't have to constantly change the file locations, they're not as simple as changing the file name. –  pathurs Feb 27 '13 at 23:45
