Subprojects should be allowed the same name
Added by Ken Sands about 15 years ago
The use of projects and subprojects is great but the restriction on unique projects names makes it less so, I think it should be fine to have subprojects with the same name as long as they are in different parent projects, the parent project should act as part identifier. since projects have uniquw id's the name shouldn't really matter the duplicate name check made sense before subprojects existed but now I think it needs to be more flexible.
eg in our setup we'd rather have:
Application A (project)
Server (subproject)
Client (subproject)
Application B (project)
Server (subproject)
Client (subproject)
rather than the current:
Application A (project)
Application A Server (subproject)
Application A Client (subproject)
Application B (project)
Application B Server (subproject)
Application B Client (subproject)
Having to add something unique (such as the name of the parent) defeats the point a little for me. Is this simply not there yet due to subprojects being fairly new? What do you think?
Ahh, Thanks I did search the issues for this but didn;t come across anything, I'll add my positive voice to that issue.
