When i export my www project to a WAR file it also puts all my source files in the WAR file

The export source checkbox is unchecked.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this happens?

Thanks in advance!

What's the layout of your project? Is there anything unusual about it? Where were the .java files in relation to the .class files?

as far as i know the project is pretty standard

i have taken it over from a colleague
when he builds it with an older version of eclipse it doesnt happen
i have the newest EE (juno) installed

the java files are outputted to the same folder structures as the class files
so they are in the same location
