Re: Symlinks

This isn't really a PDT issue -- the same thing happens if
you have any 
nested projects checked out (java, ant, php, whatever).

When I have this situation, eg:
/cvsroot/uberproject/subproject checked 
out as 2 projects in my workspace as uberproject and
subproject, the 
workaround to avoid building both and having to synch both
with CVS is 
to close one project and work on the other.

Not entirely ideal, but it helps.

When you open this bug, open it against the platform, and
please copy 
the bug number here.

Thanks!
