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.
