Hi,
I know this isn’t MyEclipse specific however because of the breath of knowledge here I thought I would ask. I just recently moved to another project and I’m having some difficulties configuring my environment.
Basically I have a folder within a folder within a folder, etc. in my project that contains JSP’s to a j2ee container. However the mapping in the project is not 1 to 1. That is to say the JSP’s in the webRoot folder doesn’t map exactly (actually it doesn’t even exist). So for example I can have folder /something1/something2/JSP2 and /another/JSP2 but on the j2ee container it maps to /some/thing/again/JSP2 and /not/same/JSP2, or perhaps to the same folder (there are multiple cases of each). I’m not about to debate the merits or demerits of this structure, or try to refactor it, it’s simply something I need to live with at this time.
In any case, I’ve tried to create a linked folder to those JSP folders, however Eclipse doesn’t let you unless it’s directly below the parent. I also can’t move that JSP folder over to just below the project level because of the way the whole thing is configured (build, cvs, etc.). From what I understand, some people here now edit the JSP’s directly from within the container (through a linked resource) and then copy the files over (hopefully not forgetting one) into the appropriate places in their Eclipse project for CVS checkin. I want to avoid this at all costs for obvious reasons…
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you on Linux or Windows? Both (yes even Windows/NTFS) support Symbolic links. We have had a handful of really extreme setups before in the past, like this, and the folks took the time to built out a “valid” web project format using sym links, and then just opened that project with Eclipse/MyEclipse and worked that way. This may be an option for you.The problem is that let’s say I have in project a directory structure of:
somewhere/anotherDir/myJSPFolder
which is where it’s located for CVS and the build, then I can’t do a symbolic link because Eclipse only seems to allow Symbolic links from the project (the root)…

I don’t mean “linked resources” in Eclipse. I mean file-system symlinks… operating-system stuff, not Eclipse stuff.On the other hand, I just noticed that in the latest New and Noteworthy of the Eclipse 3.2 milestone, that Eclipse will now support symlinks in other folders besides just root. However, MyEclipse will not officially support Eclipse 3.2 series until later in the milestones builds after the APIs have been frozen.
