Hi Doug, You can drag-and-drop to add files to a project today. The project will ask whether you want to copy the file, or link to it. When you drag a folder, it will ask whether you want to copy, or link to it, or create a virtual folder and link to the files underneath. Serge Beauchamp had created some nice videos about this on his blog: http://sergebeauchamp.blogspot.co.at/2009_01_01_archive.html Regarding “Solutions as Files”, see my other E-Mail and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=245405 IMO the way how Eclipse ties Preferences to a workspace is a problem with this, but I might be wrong. The bug has several good ideas and a lot background. Thanks, Martin -- Martin Oberhuber, SMTS / Product Architect – Development Tools,

On Behalf Of Doug Schaefer Cool. I forgot about the virtual folders. And with resource links and exclusions, it should be possible to create projects that match
the original IDE. We would just need a good UI to manage them, like being able to Add a file to a project. That leaves "Solutions", which is essentially a file based way to manage the contents of the Workspace. To match the workflow, we need
to be able to open a "Solution" and have all the projects in that solution get loaded into the workspace. But you also want to be able to add and remove projects and save that "Solution" back to the file system. Maybe working sets can play a role here by making
them persistent to the file system so one could check it into source control. Doug. From:
