I have a directory called c:\RemoteSrc . Under this there are 3 directories which are currently source folders (I think? the icon is an open folder with a little orange grid in it) in my Eclipse project. I have dropped a new directory under c:\RemoteSrc which I also want to add to my project.
BUT
If I right click on my project and go "Build Path..." -> "Link Source" and try to add it it tells me "Folder already exists with a different case". Yes i KNOW that the folder already exists THATS WHY IM TRYING TO ADD IT.
To add a linked folder to your project, click File > New > Folder to display the New Folder dialog box. Click Advanced, select Link to alternate location (Linked Folder), and then navigate to the folder that you want to link to.
I think all you need to do is refresh the project. Eclipse does not automatically pick up folders (or files) dropped into it's project directory.
A screen capture might help, but if the GUI is un-cooperative, you can:
.classpath
file which defines your project (it may be located in your workspace)classpathentry
of kind "src
": this is not the easy method, but that may give you an idea why the GUI refuses to define the same entry.If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
