(3/7/12) External Files in Project

A user recently asked if there was a way that Eclipse could search files that outside a project, but referenced by a SVEditor filelist. Initially I thought this seemed a tricky thing to implement, but fortunately Eclipse has many pleasant surprises...

Eclipse 2.1.2 provides initial support for automatically linking external files into the project, which allows Eclipse to search them and provide them as proposals for the "open resource" operation.
