How to get all eclipse's linked folders from the IProject programmatically

Question

What I need is API for getting all linked folders from the IProject programmatically. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Call the isLinked() method of the IFolder (or any IResource) to test if it is a link.

You can use the accept(IResourceVistor) method of IProject to look at all its children to find all the folders.

You can also use accept(IResourceProxyVisitor) to do the scan which may be faster. The IResourceProxy interface this uses also has an isLinked() method.
