Description Brice Beard CLA 2004-06-30 06:15:36 EDT 
under project -> properties -> source
output folder can be change but only to a directory under the project tree

this is a problem with project living on networked disk or SCM,
because it means creating classes on a network disk,
building locally would allow x10 speedup

modifying the .classpath manually doesnt work either

Eclipse allows you to mount any arbitrary folder in project subtree as linked 
to an external one (see folder creation wizard, under 'advanced' you can 
select the location in file system). This way the output folder can point at 
any location.
