[jira] Commented: (MECLIPSE-134) target/classes not acceptable for eclipse

["Aaron Digulla (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-134?page=comments#action_84475 ] 
            
Aaron Digulla commented on MECLIPSE-134:
----------------------------------------

> you can already use the "outputDir" parameter

I tried that and it didn't work. Can you please post an example?

Also, in the code, you write:

212     /**
213      * The default output directory
214      *
215      * @parameter expression="${outputDirectory}" alias="outputDirectory" default-value="${project.build.outputDirectory}"
216      * @required
217      */
218     private File buildOutputDirectory;

That means I have to define a property "outputDirectory" instead of "buildOutputDirectory", right?

I'd suggest to use "eclipse.outputDirectory" instead because outputDirectory is easily confused with the Maven config element.

> "mvn eclipse:eclipse" causes an eclipse configuration where the classfiles generated by eclipse go to the same directory as the classes generated by maven. This is extremly evil! Eclipse and maven are independent tools and should therefore not compile to the same target folder causing side effects. Especially when "mvn clean" is called and you re-run an existing application inside eclipse, and get a NoClassDefFoundError you can get slightly confused.
> Please use anything else than "target/...". My suggestion would be ".eclipse-build".
