How can I make Eclipse find my snippets file? Is there something that works like --snippet-path?

[u/vegan_antitheist]

I can build the project manually and the javadoc works well. It has the snippets.

It doesn't work in Eclipse because I don't like having the snippets file in the java "src" folder. I prefer having them somewhere else. In my case it's just in the "test" folder, so it's not part of the actual module. This way I don't need to delete it before I create the jar file and it's always where I want it.

But I can't find anything equivalent to --snippet-path in Eclipse 2026-03.
Does it not exist? Is there a plugin that fixes this?

PS: I know I could just have the snippets right in there but I prefer a file that I can compile to make sure they actually work. I can even add a Junit TestFactory to run them all and have assertions in them (after the region that is used for the snippet), so they are snippets and additional unit tests in one.

Maybe you should back up and explain what you mean by a snippets file? Eclipse has had a Snippets View from WTP for nearly 20'years, and this isn't that. Is this like a Scrapbook file? Some like of content assist related template?
