[cdt-dev] FYI: Provide more flexible workspaces (Bug 106176)

Hi,

here is the bugzilla that discusses plans to provide a more
flexible workspace:

  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=106176

The basic idea is to provide a virtual file system (instead
of using java.io.File), called EFS (Eclipse File System). The platform
started using EFS and I assume it will be in the next milestone.

There is also a web page that discusses this:
  http://eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-core/documents/3.2/flexible_workspaces/

EFS should allow solving the problem of overlapping projects:
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=44967
and "Resource linking at arbitrary depth":
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=73695
