Description Martin Cornelius CLA 2006-11-22 09:08:13 EST 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #157336 +++

The bug described in #157336 IS present in Release 3.2.1. If the output folder is a descendant of the project root folder, the COMPLETE folder hierarchy (only folders, not files) below the root folder is replicated to the output folder, regardless if the (filtered) content of a folder is empty or not.

Even worse: As the output folder itself is a part of this hierarchy, the replicated hierarchy (below the output folder) is once again replicated to the replicated copy of the output folder. Luckily, this recursive replicating seems to happen only once, (otherwise eclipse would continue replicating until the disk was filled with empty folders)

Why did you clone bug 157336 as it was still opened?
