Re: [jdt-core-dev] APT generated source directory name

This feels like a good idea. Maybe it should even read "APT" specific, as
opposed to all purpose source generation.
.apt.temp

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
