[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Duplicate files showing up in the bin folder

["Jeff McAffer" <mcaffer@xxxxxxxx>]

This is a feature of the Java builder.  It is trying to ensure the bin
directory includes all of the resources required to run the compile classes.
For example, if you write some code which uses resources or resource
bundles, these have to be present on the classpath when the application is
run.  If they are not copied into the bin dir, you will have to put all of
the source directories on you class path.  This gets difficult to manage.

Hope that helps.
