I know that Eclipse offers a way to map custom folders on my HDD

  • 0

I know that Eclipse offers a way to map custom folders on my HDD (for example, C:\Projects\Lol\ if working under Windows) as the folders of my project.

This can be achieved using the Link the folder in the file system option when performing New->Folder action.

However, I didn’t find how to map the folders with relative (not absolute) paths. Is this possible?

I’m confused, because if mapping the folders with relative paths (say, ../Lol/Include) is impossible, this makes sharing projects with such folders among my team impossible.

How should I solve this?

Thank you.

    I usally achieve this behavior by having a symbolic link on file-system level and adding it to the code repository. I don’t know if it is THE way to go, but works perfectly well for me.

    Any eclipse-only link is stored in the eclipse meta files and I doubt it’s better checking them in because they will usually differ slightly from user to user.
