> The output directory eclipse:eclipse uses, should be configurable.  I chatted with jdcasey on irc about it:
> [5:14pm] hchirino: it really should not spit it's output to target/classes
> [5:14pm] jdcasey: maybe kenney and trygvis...not too sure
> [5:14pm] jason: trygvis made the first version, but it's had a lot of work on it
> [5:16pm] hchirino: The problem is you could save a file with a compiler error in eclipse, do a m2 build and the m2 build succeeds since eclipse writes a .class file even though it had an error.
> [5:16pm] jdcasey: yikes
> [5:16pm] jdcasey: yeah, eclipse uses /bin by default iirc
> [5:17pm] jdcasey: and I've had to separate the maven-generated classes from the eclipse ones in the past, too...
> [5:17pm] hchirino: yep me too.
> [5:17pm] hchirino: I've had do "maven clean default" many times after editing in eclipse as it adds extra stuff sometimes.
> [5:19pm] hchirino: The big debate in my mind is if we do use a different folder for eclipse, should it be under target?  in other words, should clean wipe out the eclipse .class files?  Every time that happens I have to do a big eclipse refresh that takes forever.
> [5:19pm] hchirino: And if I wanted to do that, eclipse provides a 'clean' feature too.
> [5:21pm] hchirino: where do the eclipse plugin live?
> [5:21pm] hchirino: perhaps I can hack it up a bit.
> [5:24pm] jdcasey: hchirino: the eclipse plugin is in mojo.codehaus.org
> [5:24pm] jdcasey: I'd put the classfiles in the default eclipse /bin dir, and keep them separate from the maven target dir, personally
> [5:25pm] hchirino: yeah.  that's what i'm leaning towards too
> [5:25pm] jdcasey: they shouldn't be touched by m2 clean:clean IMO...it just makes another filter for svn commits, though
> [5:25pm] jdcasey: no point in deviating from the default if it doesn't get you anything, right?
> [5:25pm] hchirino: I guess I could put it in .bin ;-)
> I'm attaching a patch that makes it configurable.
