Description Chris Rudd CLA 2003-01-15 10:35:22 EST 
When a scrub happens the entire contents of the build directory are wiped out.
When using eclipse to work on tomcat projects this is a nusance. The build
directory is set to the WEB-INF/classes dir, which also contains config files etc.

It would be nice to have an option to srub or not, or to have it only scrub
.class files.

In 2.1-M4, a preference got added to control this behavior.
Preferences>Java>Compiler>Other>Allow to clean output folder

Is it enough for your need ?

Reopen if the option is not sufficient.
