The current version of the Synergy plugin attempts to set the workarea path ('wa_path' attibute) of a project using the 'ccm attr' command. In Synergy 7.1 the 'ccm attr' command cannot set the workarea for a project, the 'ccm wa' command must be used instead.

In SetProjectAttributeCommand.java it appears that a similar problem has has already been rectified for the 'maintain_wa' attribute, and I have been able to similarly solve the issue in the same way by adding another condition to the existing if statement (line 25):

else if (attribute.equals("wa_path")){
commands = new String[]

{ccmExe, "wa", "-setpath", value, "-project", project}

;
}

However a better solution would be to create a WorkAreaCommand class to inherit from the Command class and implement the setting of the 'maintain_wa' and 'wa_path' attributes in there.
