The eclipse output directory should configurable. I would be nice to pick
something other than target/classes.

Key: MNG-907
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-907
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Components: maven-eclipse-plugin
Versions: 2.0-beta-1
Reporter: Hiram Chirino
Fix For: 2.0-beta-2
Attachments: patch
The output directory eclipse:eclipse uses, should be configurable. I chatted
with jdcasey on irc about it:
[5:14pm] hchirino: it really should not spit it's output to target/classes
[5:14pm] jdcasey: maybe kenney and trygvis...not too sure
[5:14pm] jason: trygvis made the first version, but it's had a lot of work on it
[5:16pm] hchirino: The problem is you could save a file with a compiler error
in eclipse, do a m2 build and the m2 build succeeds since eclipse writes a
.class file even though it had an error.
[5:16pm] jdcasey: yikes
[5:16pm] jdcasey: yeah, eclipse uses /bin by default iirc
[5:17pm] jdcasey: and I've had to separate the maven-generated classes from the
eclipse ones in the past, too...
[5:17pm] hchirino: yep me too.
[5:17pm] hchirino: I've had do "maven clean default" many times after editing
in eclipse as it adds extra stuff sometimes.
[5:19pm] hchirino: The big debate in my mind is if we do use a different folder
for eclipse, should it be under target? in other words, should clean wipe out
the eclipse .class files? Every time that happens I have to do a big eclipse
refresh that takes forever.
[5:19pm] hchirino: And if I wanted to do that, eclipse provides a 'clean'
feature too.
[5:21pm] hchirino: where do the eclipse plugin live?
[5:21pm] hchirino: perhaps I can hack it up a bit.
[5:24pm] jdcasey: hchirino: the eclipse plugin is in mojo.codehaus.org
[5:24pm] jdcasey: I'd put the classfiles in the default eclipse /bin dir, and
keep them separate from the maven target dir, personally
[5:25pm] hchirino: yeah. that's what i'm leaning towards too
[5:25pm] jdcasey: they shouldn't be touched by m2 clean:clean IMO...it just
makes another filter for svn commits, though
[5:25pm] jdcasey: no point in deviating from the default if it doesn't get you
anything, right?
[5:25pm] hchirino: I guess I could put it in .bin ;-)
I'm attaching a patch that makes it configurable.
