Hi,
I have an Eclipse project with a boatload of <classpathentry
kind="src".../>, but I don't want all those things to compile when I
build the project... they are on the classpath for debugging only.
How do I configure my build so that only certain package hierarchies or
source directories get compiled?
Thanks a lot!
Mark

It is not clear why you want to do that (if you explain it to us, we may
be able to guide you in a better way).
Having said that, if you remove those entries from the Java Build Path
they will not get compiled. If you need the code to be compiled for
debugging, then when/how do you plan on compiling it? Do you have
another process (such as an Ant script) that compiles them? If so, you
can just include the results of that compile in your Launch
Configuration classpath for debugging.
Remember, the Build Path is separate and distinct from Launch paths
(which are used for running/debugging a program).
Do you see why I asked to explain why you want to not compile certain
packages? It seems like you are trying to accomplish something at a
higher level, and there might be a better way than trying to disable
compilation of some packages.
HTH,
Eric

Yes! :-)

Aha! Great, thanks...

Yep. I answer questions the exact same way on other lists, where I'm
not the newbie :-). We should acronym-ize it... WAYTTD = "What Are You
Trying To Do", we ask that question back so often e.g. on the Cocoon
list :-)
Best regards,
Mark
