I am writing some plug-ins for Eclipse and some of those plug-ins are collections from other plugins that are somehow spread over our repository. However, I don't want to write a readme file or explain to anyone what plugins he has to search from out repository. I just want that someone to check out one single folder that will contain all files that will be needed. I was thinking about shortcuts.
Imagine a structure like this:
https://mycompany/svn/Eclipse/plugins/ProjectX
https://mycompany/svn/Eclipse/plugins/ProjectY
https://mycompany/svn/Eclipse/plugins/RootZ/ProjectZa
https://mycompany/svn/Eclipse/plugins/RootZ/ProjectZb
...
But for whatever reason one only needs ProjectX and ProjectZb for a specific task. Therefore I'd like to have:
https://mycompany/svn/Eclipse/workspaces/PluginDevA/shortcutToProjectX
https://mycompany/svn/Eclipse/workspaces/PluginDevA/shortcutToProjectZb
such that I only have to checkout PluginDevA and SVN copies all referenced folders correctly to my local machine.
Is that somehow possible?
Shortcuts won't work, but there's a concept called externals that you can use. Have a look at the documentation for the svn:externals property. (or tortoisesvn.net/../tsvn-dug-externals.html)
