I am writing a code generator which I run as an application within
eclipse. I want the output files to be generated and placed inside the
source tree of the current project. If the root of my project is, say,
c:\project, I want the source files to be in c:\project\x\y\src. So that
is the value I am trying to use as my working directory. However it
doesn't work.
I have tried setting the working directory using the "user.dir" system
property via Run/Run.../Arguments/VM Arguments. I have also tried using
the Run/Run.../Arguments/Working Directory field but neither works. My
generator uses java.io.File.mkdirs() to create all the intermediary
directories and this keeps returning false, although some of the
directories are created.
However, if I set my working directory to c:\project, or leave is
undefined (so that the default is used) it all magically works and the
source files get created - albeit in a location that is of little use to
me.
Can anyone explain to me why this is failing?
