Java Build Cleaning Bin [message #989801]

I'm developing some Perl applications that make use of inline Java. So my project is really a Java project. However, if I want to create Perl scripts in my bin, the Java Build keeps wiping them out. Is there some way I can protect the bin, or at least specific files in the bin? The bin is the appropriate place for these files, so I don't want to have to move them to another area. We are also use subversion, so I don't want to have to check out the same branch to two different projects just so that I can edit my Java in one area and Perl in another.

Even if you want to execute your scripts from the bin folder, the typical way would be to store them in another source folder and let Eclipse copy them into the bin folder for execution.
Specifically for integration with your SVN client, it is preferrable not to store any valuable files in bin so that you can set svn:ignore for the entire bin folder.

HTH,
Stephan
