Description Bastiaan Schönhage CLA 2003-07-02 08:01:14 EDT 
Steps:

Open the "properties" window on a Java project and go to the "source" tab.

Add a folder as the source to a project, structure of the folder should be as
follows:

project
  + com
    + compuware
      + ...
  + classes

Now add the "classes" directory to be excluded from building by adding it to the
exclusion filter.

Enable "allow output folders for source folders" and try to select "classes" as
the output folder. The wizard does not allow me to do so, although it should (I
am ignoring it as a source path).

Which folder is the source folder in our scenario.
Comment 2 Bastiaan Schönhage CLA 2003-07-02 09:26:18 EDT 
In the case above I want to use "project" as my source folder. A better example
would indeed be:

project
 + sub1
   + com
     + ...
   + classes
 + sub2

In this case I would like to use "sub1" and "sub2" as source folders. And for
"sub1" I exclude "classes" but do want to use "classes" to put my compiled class
files into.

Philippe, can you shed some light on this from a JDT/Core point of view.
Comment 4 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-12-08 08:02:05 EST 
This is still forbidden in 3.0. Looks like the check for nesting output folders 
in source entry isn't considered exclusion rules. I agree it should allow this 
scenario (on the surface).
