Hello forum.

[Debian Ubuntu OS]

In my project I work with different version of the same project. I've to work with branches or special versions of the trunk. I will not discuse this. It's stupid, but with load of work i can't change it right now.

The structure is mostly the same. I don't want to make a new workspace for all this projects.
Therefore I create a symbolic link
ln -s trunk current

The problem, Eclipse follow the link and dissolving it even if I import from the link directory.

If I first mv trunk to current:
mv trunk current

then import the directory and then revert the changes:
mv current trunk
ln -s trunk current

all works fine. I'm free to change the project state by
rm current
ln -s branch_XYZ current

but this is a silly solution.

Are the any build in solutions for this use case.

TIA
Holger
