| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> <strong>General > Workspace > |
| Linked Resources</strong></a> preference page is used when working with <a href="../concepts/concepts-13.htm">linked |
| resources</a>. The preference <b>Enable linked resources</b> is used to globally enable or disable the linked |
| resource feature for the entire workspace. By default, linked resources are enabled. If you disable linked resources, |
| then you will not be able to create any new linked resources, or import existing projects that contain linked |
| resources.</p> |
| <p class="Para">Not all versions of the workbench support linked resources and recognize them as such. You may not |
| want to use linked resources if you plan to share your workspace data with other users. Disable this preference if |
| they will not be able to work with linked resources.</p> |
| <p class="Para">The remainder of this page is for defining <a href="../concepts/cpathvars.htm">path variables</a> |
| that are used when creating linked resources. Use the <b>New</b> button to define new variables, the <b>Edit</b> |
| button to change the value of an existing variable, and the <b>Remove</b> button to get rid of an existing variable. |
| Note if you change a path variable that is currently in use, you will need to perform a local refresh on those |
| projects to "discover" what is different in the file system. You can refresh a resource by opening the one of the |
| navigation views' context menu for that resource and selecting <b>Refresh</b>. It is not recommended that you remove |
| a path variable that is currently in use.</p> |
