Edit Externals

Use this command to define or change externals.

Example

To include the external http://server/svn/foo as directory bar/bazz at revision 4711 into your project, select directory bar and invoke Properties|Edit Externals. Enter bazz into the Local Path input field, http://server/svn/foo into the URL input field, 4711 to the Revision input field and click Add. After committing your property change, an update on bar will create the subdirectory bar/bazz with the content from http://server/svn/foo.

Tip

It is safer to always set a Revision to externals definitions. In this way you always know what you are currently working with and you later have the control over evaluating younger versions (revisions) of the used external.
