| Files not being copied to output folder [message #259083] |

I have a wierd scenario where files are not being copied to the Java
build/output folder. In my project, the src folder is both the main source
folder and the default output folder. When I add another source folder
(test), my Java files get compiled and copied over to the output folder
just fine, but any other files (such as properties files) are ignored.
This is a problem.
This problem is easy to reproduce with a new eclipse project. Is there a
way to have multiple source folders, one of which is the output folder,
where ALL of the files in my source folders copy to the output folder?
(PS - As much as I hate having my src folder be the output folder, I can't
change it since we have various build scripts depending on that output
location.)

Perhaps you're running into a conflict between the builder's desire to
clean the output location and its desire to put stuff there. I suggest
opening a bug about this scenario to see what kind of response that
garners. Be prepared that the answer might be "No going to support that."

Such scripts really aren't parameterized? Holy cow, how inept do you
have to be to write a script like that?!
Perhaps you can try some trickiness with linked folders in your Eclipse
project to work around that; make it think there are separate folders...
Hope this helps,
Eric

Please do enter bug with as much detail as possible and post the bug
number/URL here. If you can, attach a small project that demonstrates
the problem to the bug report.

We all have to deal with "legacy" code (scripts are code, too) at some
point, I understand. It just sounded like what I'd consider a bug in the
script(s) if they are so rigid AND require a non-standard organization
in order to work. A bug that you, being an Eclipse user, are highly
motivated to fix. ;-)
Anyway, that point is unrelated to your issue with Eclipse, so...
