| <p> |
| Virtual folders are folders that exist only in the Eclipse workspace tree, and |
| have no file system location. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| By using virtual folders, file and folders can be organized in a project |
| hierarchy independently of the file system location of those resources. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Regular file and folder resources can not be created under a virtual folder, since |
| they need a file system location as their parent in order to exist in the file system. Only |
| other virtual folders, or linked resources can be created directly under a virtual folder. |
