Linked Files

[RLein.1]

I'm working on a project that will be using shared code files from outside the project.  I do not want to copy them, instead I want to link to them.  I discovered how to do this and it works well.  Since I don't want to make any changes to any of the linked files, I would like for the IDE to somehow make easy for me to know that the file I am currently viewing is a linked file.  I have not been able to find a way to do this with CubeIDE.  Does anyone know of a way?  Thanks

Hi @RLein.1 Yes, I think this belongs to the general Eclipse features. If you know Java you can develop this yourself, or sponsor development of add-in, optionally offer it via the "marketplace".

Eclipse is complicated and takes time to get used to it.

I believe this should be last question.  :)

If I manage to get this change made in Eclipse, how does it migrate into CubeIDE?

Every so often the CubeIDE version of Eclipse gets rebased from upstream. You can politely ask ST to get this update ASAP. If this were implemented as add-on, such add-on possibly could support a range of Eclipse versions, including the current CubeIDE.
