using source links to existing java source code [message #1766026] Wed, 14 June 2017 17:57
Eclipse UserFriend
Several years ago, I was working on a java project using eclipse and I was able to set up symbolic links from the eclipse workspace to my source code file system and everything worked fine for me, meaning that Eclipse was happy with my directory structure and project set up. It compiled my java for debugging and debugging worked well. I really liked using Eclipse, but I only used Eclipse for debugging. Source code versioning, profiling, testing, etc, were all done outside the IDE.

Now, I am back to the old project and I'm trying to set up Eclipse Neon so that I can use the same environment, but I seem to keep tripping over my own feet. In particular, I have not been able to create a single project and then symbolically link the workspace src directory back to my file system were the real source is.

Can anyone help me with this, or better, point me to a document on how to set up Eclipse to work with an existing project?

BTW, the directory structure for the source code is:

.../src/<companyDir>/<companyProject>/<javaProject>/{source code and object code}
