| [jdt-core-dev] APT generated source directory name |
|
To discourage users from placing types in the APT generated
source directory (a bad idea, because clean currently removes anything found
there), we are planning to encourage the user to start its name with a ‘.’,
so that it does not show up in the package explorer (by setting the default
value at project config time to something like ‘.generated_src’. The
user can of course override this if they need to see the generated types, but
by default we think it’s better for them to be hidden. They can still be explored
for references, navigated to, etc. Is there any opposing argument? Does anyone know of any JDT
feature that would behave in an unexpected way if the generated source
directory were made invisible this way? Thanks, - ________________________________________________________________________________ BEAWorld 2005: coming to a city near you.
