Thanks again for the help Chuck, I ran Project > Clean, which I understand is supposed to clear all old builds and rebuild the project. The result is that the bin and build folders are cleared, and both are rebuilt. The bin folder is now empty, as if there were no java files to compile. The build folder has everything it should have, but the directory 'Java' which stores all of the compiled classes is also completely empty. Deleting the build directory and pasting back my backed up bin folder (from before running clean) and rebuilding creates the proper build folder, with compiled classes under Java, and everything runs fine, but of course it's the old versions of the files.
I tried your suggestion too, but it's the same as with clean. For one I had automatically build on, but I turned this off, refreshed and rebuilt and the compiled classes are still the old versions. Under the java build path I have a few external libraries that are used by the app, the JRE library and the WebObjects library. The source folder on the build path is set correctly, with Included: (all) and Excluded: (none) and Native library location: (none). The default output folder is set to WebApp/bin as I would expect. For reference I'm doing all of this on Windows XP and not OS X. As an aside, I have a mac that I wanted to just move this over to, to do everything from there, but I'm running Tiger and this is using WO 5.4 Do I need to get Leopard to get 5.4 to develop, or is it possible to run it on Tiger with 5.3, or can I get 5.4 on Tiger?
