Description Christian Lenz 2014-06-19 08:56:01 UTC

I have 3 folders, set via mklink /d on windows to symlinked folders. What I would like to have is to create symlinks right inside netbeans. So click on the project or on a folder inside a project and choose "create symlink" or "link folder" or whatever. Then choose folder and see the folder inside it. This would be great.

The command for this is OS dependent.


Regards,

Chris
