Description mikael petterson CLA 2005-04-12 09:09:14 EDT 
Hi,

We are using clearcase as our SCM. In there we have a couple of soft links that 
point to the source code packages.

ddd_swb/ddd_bldu/ant_build/src/se/ercisson/.........../ddmao_swu@@" -
> ./../../../../../../../ddmao_swu/src/
ddd_swb/ddmao_swu/src/*

The reason for this structure is that we want to separate package structure 
labling and the actual source file labling.

However eclipse is considerble slow using symbolic links. 

I have tested the following on my $HOME dir and eclipse is much faster.

Have you tried any other application with the same structure/links?

Eclipse is just calling the file system to get to the directories/files, so it 
should be the same as other applications.

I doubt there is anything we can do to work around this.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
