Store eclipse .project files outside the project d

问题:

I dunno whether it's even possible since this file does not contain any relevant links to directories, but anyway: I want to store .project files in a separate dir outside the project root. How can I do that?

Best regards

You can't place the ".project" outside of the project root, as the project root is the folder where the ".project" is located. What you can is, you can define a project at an other location as your sources und create linked folders to link your sources to your project.

If you create a new folder there is a button "Advanced" in the dialog. If you click it there is a checkbox "Link to folder in the file system". Here you can link folders to your project that are not located in the project folder. I assume this is the effect you want to achieve.
