How to create new folder in Eclipse Helios CDT with symbolic link?

Question

I have just upgraded my Eclipse CDT from Galileo to Helios and it seems that I can't create a new folder in my C++ project that links to a symbolic link on the filesystem. I need this because our nightly build system keeps a history of builds and updates a symbolic link to point to the latest source. It looks something like this:

/project/monday
/project/tuesday
/project/wednesday
/project/thursday
/project/friday
/project/lastnight -> /project/tuesday

With Galileo I could create the folder with the "Link to Folder in File System" that was "/project/lastnight". When I got to work in the morning I would just select the folder and hit refresh and the indexes would be updated. I could then use this reference this project from my other projects.

Is this possible with Helios? Or is there some other way I should be doing this?

Regards, Mike

EDIT: I am running eclipse on linux.
