ide - Xcode 4: cannot refactor projects located in /Developer -

i've upgrade xcode 4 , genuinely hoping new version might put xcode on more equal footing other ides eclipse , intellij, it's looking increasingly apple still way behind.

i looking forwarding new refactoring options. can't use @ all! whenever try refactor lovely dialog saying

refactoring not supported projects located in /developer. 

i keep dev projects in /developer. dialog suggests copy project location enable refactoring, extremely loathe because of pain of broken file references follow (yet 1 of xcode's major detractions).

is there way around this? need able refactor. don't want copy project out of /developer. can do?

thanks.

don't keep projects in /developer. that's owned xcode, , if you're not careful might end deleting when install update. make own directory code, , work.

you mentioned don't want move projects because fear broken file references. in cases, shouldn't problem, file references default relative. you'll find absolute path in there, it's easy fix broken reference—the file highlighted in red, select file, open file inspector pane, , click little finder window button next filename. you'll able select new location. works multiple missing files; select whole group of them, click finder window button select folder containing missing files.

<-- finder window button i'm talking about.

once that, missing file references resolved. i'd argue moving projects purpose alone—it clean absolute paths intended relative.

if don't want play rules, you'll have live without refactoring. sorry; that's way is. developer folder intended hold developer tools, not own code. there uninstallation scripts within /developer folder delete entire folder. it's not place own code.
