[jdt-core-dev] Re: [jdt-ui-dev] APT generated source directory name
|
JDT/Core should not care at all whether
the source folder name starts with a '.'.
In the Package Explorer, there's a filter
for '.* resources', which is enabled by default, but can easily be disabled.
E.g., it gets disabled when the user
opens a generated compilation unit, chooses Navigate > Show In >
Package Explorer, and says "Yes" to remove filters.
Note that the 'Projects' view of the
Java Browsing perspective does not have such a '.* resources' filter, but
I think that would be easy to add.
Do you expect other mechanisms than
APT to generate source files into this folder?
If not, then it might be better to include
APT in the folder name, such that users have a hint who created this folder
(e.g. '.apt_src' or '.generatedAPTsrc').
Cheers,

Subject
| [jdt-ui-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,
-Gary
