Please add support for output folders that are in a different directory (or drive) than the project working directory. Building a project on a network drive or Clearcase takes too much time, especially as the Scrubbing operation is slow.
Linked resources allow you to achieve this in latest integration build. Once a UI allows you to define these, you could basically mount an external location (external to this project) and have it be monitored by Eclipse. Then you can use it as your output folder, as you would do it already, and have actual classfiles generated to whatever location you need. Also note, that once latest enhancements are surfaced in UI, you will also be able to associate each source folder with an individual output folder, and you can also add some exclusion filters to avoid building portions of a source tree. Last, we will allow source folders to be nested in each other (as long as outer excludes the inner one). This should provide you with good flexibility. UI isn't ready yet, but it should be available by milestone 4.
Is it ok to close?
Ok to close. So i have to wait for M4 then...
There are ways to manually touch the .project or .classpath files to enable these features, but by M4 an official UI will be available. Closing
