Delete Solution from Workspace

VA Java 3.5 & Above Only

In VA Java, Solutions are normally deleted from the workspace by deleting each of their contained projects. There is no easy way to simply delete a Solution from the workspace in one step.

VA Assist adds the ability to directly delete existing Solutions from the workbench window. Solutions may be deleted from  the workspace using the "Solutions | Delete from Workspace" menu. Each Solution that is defined within the repository, and currently loaded, is listed by name in the cascade menu. Selecting any of those menu items will delete its associated Solution from the workspace.

The command determines which projects are unique to the selected Solution and which are shared with other loaded Solutions (a "loaded Solution" is defined as a solution which has all of its projects loaded). If there are any shared projects, the opportunity is given to delete all of the projects or just the ones that are unique to the selected Solution.

A "Delete from Workspace" command has also been added to the Repository Explorer. 

Visibility of the various workspace solutions menus is controlled via the "Show workspace solutions menus" option on the "VA Assist | Layout" options page.

Note: with a remote repository connection or a slow network connection to a local repository, you may want to turn this option off as these features generate additional repository traffic and may lead a slowdown in your ability to access the various workspace menu options.
