How to have different file links to an Eclipse project (not importing it)?
I noticed when I import a file, the file is copied to the work space, but can I just create a file link in a Eclipse project? So when I modify the files in Eclipse, the files in the linked location is modified. In this way, I can version control the files using SVN. And I don't need to copy the modified files back to its dedicated directory when deployment.
The following is a more detailed description of my problem:
I have a cgi application located and runs in apache. The app runs with diff configuration files for different 'projects' which is more like showing different dataset with its corresponding co开发者_Python百科nfiguration file. My task is to write the configurations files which will require some perl callback functions, css files and images. All these files have their own dedicated directories located in different places in the company server which i have not much control with.. So far, I just use command line to modify files and keeping old copies for version control. If I can do something like my above description, I will be able to have a central place to work on and do SVN. Or do you have a better idea how I should set up my work environment?
Thanks heaps in advance.
Yes you can,
File -> New File -> Advanced (at the bottom) -> Link to file in the file system

I have figured out a way to conveniently to version control files from different places and can deploy them to the correct directories after modified. It's ....... using..... the ANT build file... I just have all files imported to a single project and use an ANT build to distribute them back to their corresponding destination.
Use svn:external

One drawback though, you have to update your other projects once you commit a shared files.
