Virtual folders

[barbercolman]

I have started a new project based on the twr-k60 and noticed the source files are in folders with small white squares on the icons. It appears these are virtual folders, but I have had trouble finding information on why virtual folders are used and how there are created.

Have you looked in your project folder (within the workspace folder)? What do you see there? A screenshot would also help.

Hello

Extract from Eclipse on line help system:

"

Virtual folders are folders that exist only in the Eclipse workspace tree, and have no file system location.

By using virtual folders, file and folders can be organized in a project hierarchy independently of the file system location of those resources.

Regular file and folder resources can not be created under a virtual folder, since they need a file system location as their parent in order to exist in the file system. Only other virtual folders, or linked resources can be created directly under a virtual folder.

"

In order to create a virtual folder:

   - Right click in the CodeWarrior Projects view and select New > Folder.

   - Click on Advanced button

   - Select the parent folder (where you want the virtual folder to show up) and give it a name

   - Check Folder is not located in the file system (Virtual Folder).

  - Click on Finish.

You can now add files to this folder using right mouse click + selecting Add files.
