I have a situation in which my Java project contains resources from a different project.
Say my project contains Java code and some resource files for read only. The resource files are built/used and maintained by a different team. I want to be able to check them out within my project (from Eclipse). So I was looking at how can I make my resource directory points to an SVN repository different from the rest the of my project.

I am not sure if this is possible, but if anyone knows away around it please let me know.

Thanks,

    What you want is called an SVN external

    So, if you have a project that looks like this:

    project
|
|-- folder1
|
|-- folder2
|
|-- resources

    Then what you should do is to set the svn:externals property:

    svn propset svn:externals 'resources http://svn.url.for.resources'

    Using this approach, when you checkout the project project, SVN will automatically checkout the resources folder from the SVN repo you specified in the svn:externals property.
