Project build deletes the output folder [message #103670]

Hello all,

How is it possible to prevent the project's build from deleting the output
folder before building?
Question's Motivation: The output folder and subfolders contain resources
that are not required to be touched during compilation, and compilation
deletes them.

Would appreciate your help,

Rami A.

Hi
Here
Preferences->Java->Compiler
you can find "Build Path" tab
Clean output folders on full build
unchecked it.

However I don't recommend doing that. That prevents it from cleaned up
nicely. The better way is to put your resources into the same source
folder as your java classes. They will then be copied over to the output
folder automatically. This then allows the java compiler to cleanup the
output folder and give a nice clean build without old artifacts laying
around that may no longer be needed.
