Hi folks,
As I once again go through setting up a new project, I once again
realize how ambiguous the "Project Path" versus the "Source Path"
dialogs are.
Can somebody clarify this? The language for "Project Path" says:
Please specify a directory where the working files for your
project can be found. This path will be accessible from the
project views. Also all operations such as search,
compilation and refactorings will be performed in these files
only. Later you may alter this path and manage additional
paths in Project Properties dialog.
While the language for "Sourcepath" says:
Please specify source path entries, where Java source files
for your project can be found. These paths should
correspond to default (root, unnamed) packages. Note: the
program will not recognize any Java source files that are not
located under these directories. Later you may alter these
paths in Project Properties dialog.
These both appear to be saying almost the same thing. I would assume
that Sourcepath should be the location of my java source files, which
I want to edit. However, the language for Project Path says it's
where "all operations such as search, compilation and refactorings
will be performed".
If they're the same thing, one of the dialogs should be removed. If
not, the dialogs should explain the difference. If they're two
different settings which are almost always in practice the same
setting, that should be noted in the dialogs.
