Do you have a solution for this? Yes. The restriction is that the directory on which the external is defined must be in svn. The property does not need to be checked in for the external to work. I suggest you create a patch that adds all the necessary empty directories to the existing structure. I (or another committer) can then commit it. With that in place you can experiment with externals. > Maybe an alternative would be to create my own local svn repository so that > I can commit there and import the head of trunk of the > sandbox/tomcat-maven-layout directory there.

On the subject of IDEs and POM level filters, most IDEs allow you to filter out unwanted sources so we could provide sample IDE configs - like we do for the main Tomcat build - in a suitable location. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
