We have a large source tree. I usually make projects that are rooted at a
small part of that source tree.
So my source root might be net/comanage/foo and my project root is
net/comanage/foo/install. If I tell my project to do a dependency based
make, the first thing it does is delete all the class files in the output
directory for things that aren't in the project. This Is Bad.
Also, our build does a good amount of code generation, where java files are
generated and compiled. I fear that even if I set my project root to be the
root of the source tree, if I copied over the class files from a build
machine, Idea would then blow away all the class files that go with
generated files.
You might want to rethink this concept of getting rid of "unnecessary"
files.
