As an alternative to
Filesystem drag-and-drop, you can link files and folders into a project. This
method of linking resources lets you include files in your project, even if they need to
reside in a specific place on your filesystem (because of a restrictive source control
system, for example).
To add a linked resource to a project in the Project Explorer view:
-
Right-click on a project, and then select either or .
The New File or New Folder dialog appears.
-
In the File Name or Folder Name
field, type a new name for the file or folder.
-
Click Advanced >>, and enable
either the Link to file in the file system or
Link to folder in the file system option.
-
Type the full path to the file or folder, or click
Browse… to select a specific file or
folder.
-
Click Variables… to define any path variables
for use in the file or folder path.
-
Click OK.
-
Click Finish to link the file or folder into your
project.
See in the Workbench User Guide for more information about
linked resources.
