Hi Tommy, I am not seeing this problem, myself.
When you get the duplicate class problem, do you find multiple copies of the generated source in your target directory? Multiple copies of the same class files? AFAIK that is the only way you should ever see a duplicate class exception - Regards, Russ On Jul 19, 2013, at 11:40 AM, Tommy Svensson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Russ, > > No, that is not exactly my case.
