> Currently {{ant generate-eclipse-files}} will create an Eclipse project that will write compile classes into the {{build/classes/main/}} output directory, just as ant does. This causes some issues in practice:
> * Eclipse doesn't recognize changes to compiled classes when compiling with ant. You'll have to manually refresh the project and Eclipse acts weird if you forget to do so.
> * Cleaning the project from Eclipse will remove the {{hotspot_compile}} file and {{ant jar}} won't work any longer as this file is required with ant. Eclipse will be happy to delete it during clean but won't be able to generate it.
> * Tests run by ant may pick up classes compiled by Eclipse that may use different build settings and produce different results for testing
> My suggestion is to simply configure Eclipse to use {{build/classes/eclipse}} instead and leave the ant classes alone. See trivial patch.
