How to get eclipse show folder from file system

Question

I need to see the folder (svn) from the file system in eclipse (is there a file exploring function). how to achieve this

I do not want the folder to be nested in the project. At best, eclipse associates this folder with the svn repository, like all other projects.

Answer 1

There is a kind of system system that offers access to your file system.

Window -> Show View -> Other... -> Remote Systems -> Remote Systems 

Answer 2

Eclipse: File → Create → Project → General → Project →

Disable 'default location'

Set the location to the folder where your files you want to view are located.

After you click Finish, an Eclipse project is created, showing all the files in your folder

(because: creating an Eclipse project in an existing folder does not clear the files there)

Answer 3

Eclipse is project-oriented; it will not display files or folders that are not part of the project. You can create a link to any arbitrary place in your file system, but the link should live in the project.

The closest thing I know will be installing Remote System Explorer (RSE, see http://www.eclipse.org/tm/ ), which offers the Local node in the Remote Systems view. But I doubt that it has any integration with svn.

Answer 4

open the Navigator view .... this is the file system view.

Answer 5

You can also create a folder that is a link:

 File -> New -> Folder -> Advanced (button) -> "Link to alternate location". 

I usually use it to communicate with my local server (container).

Answer 6

You can also right-click on the file you want to open, you will see Show in Remote Systems view . I do not know if this is possible in other versions of the eclipse, but I do it with Eclipse Mars 4.4.
