build/* --> target/*
Hi,
It looks like a lot more projects have moved to storing intermediate files in
a directory named "target/*" rather than "build/*". It does not seem useful
to continue. Is there still anyone who objects to it?

Well it is mainly because most of the builds that Jon setup used "build" to
indicate the build utilities and build files (ie equivelent to Avalons
tools/). I think it was Craig who started using target to indicate the
"target" of your build. It mutated to intermediate files because most people
also had a dist target ;)

Dito .. build makes sence to me - target is something different and
undefined.
Without a really compelling reason I can't see a justification for
changing what exists.

Incidentally, does anyone know the logic behind the name 'target'? I can
understand 'build' == stuff generated by the build process, so 'target'
== ?

It is purely a jarkarta thing. I think Maven has hastened that migration.
I don't object as I don't have scripts that assume the location
of the intermediary files.
It doesn't help or degrade the building of the project so I say
if it makes you happy go for it.
