[jira] Commented: (MECLIPSE-642) "String index out of range" during eclipse:eclipse for a project that works with 2.7

["Holger Hoffstätte (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-642?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=253848#action_253848 ] 

Holger Hoffstätte commented on MECLIPSE-642:
--------------------------------------------

Apache Avro is getting bitten by this too. As much as I agree with the notion of standalone modules, this is simply not how many projects work for very good reasons. In Avro's case the Java build is merely one of many (C, PHP etc.) and all projects share generic resources from the toplevel parent - exactly like Robin's case.
It seems not completely unreasonable for these cases to include the referenced directory via a relative path outside of $basedir. Can anyone point out any severe downsides if this were the case?
