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

[jamsden@xxxxxxxxxx]

Another thought: Why not just put the resources that need to be in the 
runtime path in the bin directory in the first place. There's a Java src 
directory because you don't want to mixup the .java files with the built 
class files. But .properties and .gif files could just be created and 
edited directly in the bin directory without have any copies anywhere. 
Since they don't get built, there's no need to put them in the src (or any 
other) folder. That is, you need something in the classpath, then either 
put it there, or update the classpath with where you did put it. 
Developer's choice. What would be the downside of this approach?
