I'm working on a fairly large project (1300+ files) with eclipse on linux.
A problem I'm having is that when I say "clean" (Project->Clean) it does
'make clean' and that tries to remove all of the temporary files (object,
dependency, etc) in one humongous 'rm -rf'. There are too many files for
the command line and the remove fails.
I'm wondering if there is a workaround short of going to the command line
and doing my own by-hand cleanup.
If not, I'll file a bug report for this.
