I assume you are fetching the project files as well as source files into the same directory. Is that correct?
[quote user="Robert Brown"]When I fire up CCS afterwards, it does not show any files in the project.[/quote]
Do you mean that you see the projects in CCS but not any of the source files in the project directory?
Can you also confirm if the projects were set up to use the source files as linked resources or if they were expected to physically be in the project directory? You can confirm this by looking at the .project file and see if there are any source files listed under <linkedResources>. If so they are linked files (meaning that they point to another location), otherwise they are expected to be in the project folder.
What actually happens when you try to build the project?
