Gradle Build Folder not Ignored [message #1847967]

We are building our language with gradle. It generates into the "build" folder. In Eclipse, the Xtext plug-ins generate into bin/main. Now, by accident we have observed, that Xtext is also building the files from the "build" folder, which it should not, because they are derived resources (correctly marked as such on the build folder).

When debugging, I do see the IgnoreBuildDirContribution is missing the buildDirs (empty list). After a "Refresh Gradle Project" the build dirs are there (and the build folder is properly ignored). This works, until the next restart of Eclipse.

I am not familiar with that part of Xtext / Gradle at all in Eclipse. From my naive point of view it just looks like that the IgnoreBuildDirContribution is not storing the build dirs persistently, which it should!?

Has anybody experienced this as well? Is there a workaround?

Hi

Not sure about gradle, but it is a major problem with m2e / tycho and its target folder, which isn't even marked derived. Tools have to be customized redundantly and inconsistently.
