You can use links in the Eclipse style (and create a link for a location).

Now, the actual pydev limitation is that the folders that you use to do the
link must be the EXACT same folders that you put as source folders (that's the
default way for Eclipse to handle this -- at least from what I see).

There is a bug to address this issue
at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1461125&group_id=857

This limitation is because Java  has no support for handling symlinks (altough
you could probably do some compiled module to handle it, I find that the way
Eclipse handles it should be good enough).

Cheers,

Fabio
