Description Sascha Radike CLA 2007-04-16 03:14:25 EDT 
Currently the CDT builder does delete _all_ files of the output folder during cleanup. It is not possible for third-party plugins to copy files to the output folder before the CDT buider because they will be deleted.

It should be possible to specify a list of file extensions to delete:

Clean:
   File Extensions to clean: *.o;*.d;*.${artifactExtension};
   [x] Remove empty folders

Comment 3 Sascha Radike CLA 2007-04-20 12:11:03 EDT 
Proposed changes:
 - Replace the "Workbench Build Behavior" with "Clean settings" on the Builder Settings UI. What's the idea of the "workbench build behavior" for managed build anyway ?

 - adjust cleanProgrammatically(...) in CommonBuilder to only delete those files specified in the UI. Code from JDT clean up can probably be copied and modified.

 - The new settings have to be stored somewhere

I just noticed the new builder is less aggressive and a full build does not clean the output folder. So this enhancement has less priority.
