Description Nir Geier CLA 2005-02-23 08:21:16 EST
hi all.

Info:
Eclispe:  3.1M5
Build id: I20050219-1500
*** System properties:
awt.toolkit=sun.awt.windows.WToolkit
eclipse.application=org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench
eclipse.buildId=I20050219-1500
eclipse.commands=-os

-----------------------------------------------

As you know in web projects the output folder need to be Project/WEB-
INF/classes.
On earlier versions there was no problem to to so (and for existing projects 
its causing problems. i cant change the source path since it will effect 
build(s), other users etc).

in ordetr to get it to work on the M5 i edited the '.classpath' file and added 
the needed folders.

Doing so caused the eclipse not to find all files under the classes folders 
(for example java files,i18n propety files, images)

to solve this problem i created new folder and copied all src folder to there, 
set the src & output folder based on new 

right now any project created prior to 3.1M5 works great on eclispe up to 3.1M4

I guess this is a new feature since there is an info meessage trying to place 
src & output under same folder,

Thank you in advance.

Not sure to really understand the problem.
What I understand is:
1) Web projects needs to have source folder set to 'WEB-INF/classes'
2) it was possible to do that using 3.1 M4 but it's no longer possible since M5

Is it correct?
What is your output folder: same as source folder?
Do you need to have any other src folders?
Can you copy/paste .classpath you need for your project?
Would it be possible to describe a scenario with a simple Java Project to
illustrate your problem and help us to reproduce easily your problem?
Can you make a try with latest RC2 (RC1 at least) to verify your issue still
happens?

Please reopen as soon as your provide requested infos, thx

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
