Default Output Folder [message #300612] Mon, 13 March 2006 15:54

Hi All,

I'm a relative newcomer to Eclipse, but have worked quite a bit with
Websphere which is based on Eclipse. I'm trying to figure out if it's
possible to build class files to the default output folder specified in
the Project Properties/Java Build Path/Default Output Folder text box.

So far the closest I've been able to get is to get Eclipse to build the
folder structure for the classfiles by explicitly including .java and
class files in the build path, but I haven't been able to get it to put
classes anywhere other than (my project)/WEB-INF/classes.

Normally I wouldn't try to fight this default behavior, but I've inherited
a project with multiple source code archives (one branch for prod, several
maintenance branches etc.) and due to some inflexible configuration issues
it is impractical to run the builds from anything other than a hard coded
directory path (c:\tomcat\webapps).

As a workaround I've created a linked folder to the location I want to
drop the code as part of a seperate project in the workspace and I'm
lifting from the source project and dropping into the "deployment"
project. Less than ideal, but the best I could come up with on short
notice :p

I've searched around for several hours looking for a solution at this
point and have come up empty. Any thoughts?

Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.1.1
Build id: M20050929-0840
Running on Windows XP 5.1.2600 SP2

Thanks in advance.
