apt: using __generated_src for other generation needs also? [message #226528]

Besides eclipse APT I have another code generator which also produces java
source files. I would like to use both tools in the same project and would
prefer to place all generated source files from both tools in the same
directory (i.e. __generated_src).

However I read an old posting saying that this may cause problems for APT.
Is that still true? If so, any plans to fix this?

On a clean build, APT will recursively delete all derived files and
folders in the generated source directory.

Also, APT doesn't expect anything else to be modifying files it has
created.

As long as those two caveats don't conflict with your use-case, I think
you should be okay.
