----------------------------------------------
Summary: Use different build directories for Eclipse and Ant
Key: CASSANDRA-12466
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12466
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Stefan Podkowinski
Assignee: Stefan Podkowinski
Priority: Trivial
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.
