We really like Eclipse, but unfortunately are having a lot of trouble getting linked folders to work. We want to create N source or library folders under the base project and then configure fairly complex filters into each source folder. Most of the time this works and we get a clean build.

However, once another project is introduced into Eclipse or the structure behind the linked folders changes (guess as to root cause) the project still compiles correctly, but there are the red lines under certain packages it cannot find (“x.y.z cannot be resolved or is not a type”). To reiterate, the Java build works but the red lines are still present. This is very annoying to say the least.

We have tried solving this problem with and without the Eclipse CVS tool (very nice BTW), tried starting from scratch (creating entirely new directories and project files). We do not use the default workspace under the Eclipse install directory, but are under something such as “C:\projects” (yes, we are using WindowsXP).

Any help would be appreciated. Eclipse is a great tool and really multiplies our productivity, but some of these problems have really sapped our productivity.

Thanks!
