the feature that i want is: I can virtually organize my projects, ie, under project, i can setup categories: mysource, myheadfiles, myimages. but all these are not real directories. they are just virtual. and within each virtual categoruy, i can define manually add files, instead of link to directory, since some files within the firectory are junk and shouldn't be put under this category. As you know, Virsual studio, and JBuilder both have this feature.this feature is my favorite. In addition, to be honest, if CDT can behavors and has UI the same as VirsualStudio. it will be perfect. since in Virsual Studio, we can easily set up Inlcude directories, source ditectories. library directories.
I agree with you. Very nice feature. I won't use Eclipse/CDT untill this is implemented.
PR was not targeted to any particular release. Changing target milestone to 2.1

For example: prj/ folder/ foo.1.c folder2/ folder3/ *.c People use folder to categorize there sources, I do not quite the advantage of having everything flat ?
From Jessezx: i forgot my login pwd of eclipse website. just directly reply you. ===================================================== Does the category mysource, still have the hierarchy of the file system or is it flat ? For example: prj/ folder/ foo.1.c folder2/ folder3/ *.c ======================================================================== 1)please don't use folder. i don't want a real folder name in my project settings' tree. mysource is a virtual tree node in the tree, it isn't in real file system. 2) it doesn't need to be flat under mysource, i can add whatever levels of virtual child nodes in the project settings' tree. take a look at VisualStudio.

Those are virtual folder that you define a filter for it. I think for a first iteration we can do something similar. It may not be exactly what you expect. But a good start. Please feel free to give more details to direct us ... I do not have VS++ > take a look at VisualStudio. > Do not have it.
You can have many files called foobar.c when they are located in different folders (one per folder). In virtual tree, they are shown as foobar.c. It is your responsibility to know who is each instance of foobar.c When you open the file, the relative (relative to project root) physical location could be displayed as the filename in the tab text. Another feature of VisualC++ is that all C header files are automaticaly grouped in a virtual folder called Header.
Returning to the pool.
This is part of something I want to accomplish with the Eclipse File System (EFS). I want to support import of VisualStudio project and using EFS would be a huge help with that. I'll take this bug. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to it though.
This bug was assigned and targeted at a now released milestone (or Future or Next that isn't being used by CDT). As that milestone has now passed, the milestone field has been cleared. If this bug has been fixed, please set the milestone to the version it was fixed in and mark the bug as resolved.
