Hello.

I use eclipse and Flash Builder plugin (4.6).

I want the output folder to be X:\ which is a mapped drive of a FTP location.

Everything works well with a new project.

When I try to change the output folder of another project (that is already outputing from W:\) to X:\ I receive this error:
"The output folder cannot be set to the root of a volume."

Is this a bug? Are there workarounds?
Or everytime I want to change the ouput folder to another volume I have to make a new project(coppy all classes, etc, etc) ?

as you receive the error "The output folder cannot be set to the root of a volume." it does not look like a bug to me.

so: "its not a bug, its a feature" Wink
