Where can I find information on how the /links directory is used?
I saw that MyEclipse used it for including it as a plugin in
I wanted to do the same thing with my common plugins to minimize the hazzle of
upgrading Eclipse.

I think this is the information you are looking for.

links/<name>.links:
a java property file with content:
path=<absolute path to a dir>
The dir needs to contains a subdir eclipse with two subdirs
plugins and features, which contain the actual content.

You can also do a
path=[r |rw ]<absolute path>
where 'r ' stands for read only acces and 'rw ' (or nothing) for read
write access to this site.

See http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36101 for a patch
to add a site via comandline option.

Not really sure, but there are several 'Plan Items', which are related
to platform configuration. Have a look at them and add you
comments...

Association of a class with a corresponding java source [message #56847 is a reply to message #46370]

Hello,

I wonder whether anybody knows how to associate a class ( or a folder
containing a bunch of classes) with a Java file ( or a folder containing
java files).
When I debug and step in ( via F5) into a method from another package I see
the class ( rather than Java file) and decompiled source ( rather than
original Java file). This makes it impossible to determine at what line I am
actually experiencing a problem. In other words the real debugging process
gets totally broken.

I am sure it's a trivial issue for experienced Eclipse IDE users, but for
the novice user, like myself, I couldn't figure out the key words to use to
get into the proper explanation in a HELP.

Thanks in advance,
Arkady Godin
