[news.eclipse.tools] Unfortunate requirement that source reside in project
|
Eclipse seems to require that a project's source be contained in the project
directory. This is common practice among many IDEs, but is unnecessarily
inflexible and causes undue pollution of source code with information about
the software tool du jour. It should be sufficient for a project directory
to contain information about the project's source code, such as the source's
location. Instead Eclipse-specific data gets intermixed with my source
code. I end up with multiple copies of the same source tree, one per
software tool. This obviously causes a ot of hassle and can easily lead to
errors.
