Question on EFS (Eclipse File System) - EFS support on workspace projects [message #331125] Tue, 26 August 2008 12:23 Go to next message

Hi,
Can EFS be used on projects that reside in the eclipse workspace but needs
to show a different directory structure?

Workspace:
- project A
- folder Aa
- file.abc
- folder Ab
- file.abc

Custom Navigator:
- project A
- type 1
- component1 type1
- component2 type1
- type 2
- component1 type2
- component2 type3
- type 3
- component1 type3
- component2 type3

The custom navigator parses all the files with extension '.abc' and creates
components under respective types which is visible in the navigator. I would
like to have marker support on these components.

Kindly refer to the post titled 'Resource Marker to open custom editor with
custom EditorInput' dated Friday, August 22, 2008 for an overview of my
requirement.

Regards,
Prashanto

I don't know that much about the Marker support, so I can't help you
with your requirements there. But I think your use of the CNF to do
this is the right way. If you are using EFS you are creating an
entirely separate world when all you really want is your view to be
layed out differently. I would strongly recommend against the EFS approach.

Thank you so much for replying. I fully agree with your suggestion. As a
matter of fact, I had stopped exploring EFS after an hour's effort because
it just did not feel right for my requirement.
Thanks again for showing me the correct way.

Good Day,
Prashanto
