How does eclipse handle linked java files in an Ant build file? [message #334633]

Hey,

I moved this post from eclipse.platform.pde to here.

I tried to export Ant build file using the Ant buildfiles export wizard.
However, it seemed it did not handle linked java files. For example, I
have a simple java project which contains a linked java file in the source
folder. I export the Ant build file for this project. I check the
generated Ant build file but did not find anything in the file which
handles the linked java file. I ran it outside of eclipse and the linke
file was not compiled. If there is a linked folder, I saw the generated
Ant build file handled it correctly. I am not sure if this is a
un-implemented feature? or it is not supposed to be supported?

Thanks.

Linked content has long been a problem for the headless build. This is
because PDE/Build which generates these ant scripts does not know about
the workspace and the resource model.

This would be one of the things that could be addressed by the
ever-elusive "Make PDE/Build fully workspace aware" which we like to
dream about every once in a while.

One way around this would be to copy the linked resources locally using
a pre compile custom callback
