I moved my pb project from my old computer to my new 12 inch pb. It is a java project with about 60 source files. I moved it by copying the folder containing the project to the new book, then downloaded the december developer tools to the book and reinstalled them.

I tried to build my project on the new book and it would not build because it said it could not find source files. I examined that path of the file that it needed to load and it contained my old username on my old computer. How do I change this to my new username? I tried to edit the directory for java source using expert view, but it was already "." so I do not understand how to proceed from here.

Do I have to create a new project and drag all my source files to it?

Thanks for any help.

In the files tab, right (control) click on each group and choose "Get Info". Check to see if the path for each group is correct. If not, simply "Choose Path" and see if that fixes the problem.

Thank you very much for your response. I'm sorry if these sound like totally basic questions but I am not trained as a programmer and am teaching myself java. Unfortunately I have found the documentation for project builder less than what I desired, especially for troubleshooting.

I did what you suggested and examined the path of the files the compiler said it could not find using the Show Info option. Curiously, the path was as expected based on where the file is located. However, the compiler is giving me the following error messages:

/Developer/Private/jam -d1 -j1 JAMBASE=/Developer/Makefiles/pbx_jamfiles/ProjectBuilderJambase JAMFILE=- build ACTION=build _DEFAULT_GCC_VERSION=3.1 BUILD_STYLE=Development CPP_HEADERMAP_FILE=/Users/jonathanhecht/Programming/ScoreCardPB/build/ScoreCardPB.build/GUIElements.build/GUIElements.hmap SRCROOT=/Users/jonathanhecht/Programming/ScoreCardPB OBJROOT=/Users/jonathanhecht/Programming/ScoreCardPB/build SYMROOT=/Users/jonathanhecht/Programming/ScoreCardPB/build DSTROOT=/tmp/ScoreCardPB.dst
Missing file or directory: /Users/jhecht/Programming/ScoreCardPB/DiamondEvent.java
.... (about 12 other files)

jhecht was my old username on my old computer. The correct name should be jonathanhecht. It appears that project builder is not recognizing the new path for these files and is following the old path, therefore it cannot find the files and produces these build errors.

Any other suggestions on how I can fix this? I am going to try reindexing the project and see if that helps.

Thanks.

I rebuilt the index and that solved the problem. Thanks for helping. Hopefully this will help anyone with similar problems.
