Hi!

These might be trivial misses from my part, but I have two issues:

- the src-gen and xtend-gen directories are not created if they don't exist. I think they should be, git doesn't store empty directories and one has to use the old CVS trick of having a dummy empty file... not nice, when the fix is so simple.

- if the java file generated from an xtend file is deleted, the builder doesn't catch the change and doesn't recompile. This means that one has to explicitly do a "clean" or "build" on the project after doing a "git clone" or "git clean"

Please let me know if you think I should open tickets on these.

best regards,
Vlad

That would be most welcome.

Thanks,
