Can I prevent Eclipse from deleting a file in my build directory? [message #77936]

I am building a web application using Eclipse, Tomcat, and Struts.
I put an ApplicationResources.properties file under WEB-INF/classes
so that it will be on the application's classpath inside Tomcat.
Eclipse deletes this file when I save changes to my java source
files and they are automatically compiled. Is there any way to
prevent this?

Thanks

Don't put it in the output directory. See this link:

You should put this file in one of your source folder and it will be
copied automatically to the output folder on a build or you remove the
deletion of the output folder before a build (see the compiler
preferences).
