Same setup here, on Linux and on MacOS X. I have talked to the 
myeclipseide guys and they are aware of a bug where the myeclipseide 
build system (JSP Compiler) and the AspectJ compiler can crash eclipse. 
You can search their support forums to get more informations. And they 
have fixed this issue for 3.0 final.

I can not confirm the behaviour you are reporting. But I can confirm, 
that this is true for properties files. I have properties files on the 
build path and they do not get copied over to the classes folder if I 
change them. I have to clean the project ...

I I then remove the aspectj nature, everything is ok. But what I can 
report is, that the behaviour on MacOS X and Linux is different. I had 
problems on MacOS X where the same project did not make troubles on 
Linux. Troubles means, Exceptions while building the project.

Probably 3.0 final will fix some problem, while some problems are 
related to the aspectj compiler (properties files) - but I am not sure, 
have not proven that in a simple aspectj project without myecliseIDE.
