target/classes not acceptable for eclipse
-----------------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-134
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-134
Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.2, 2.1, 2.0
Reporter: Jörg Hohwiller
Priority: Minor
"mvn eclipse:eclipse" causes an eclipse configuration where the classfiles
generated by eclipse go to the same directory as the classes generated by
maven. This is extremly evil! Eclipse and maven are independent tools and
should therefore not compile to the same target folder causing side effects.
Especially when "mvn clean" is called and you re-run an existing application
inside eclipse, and get a NoClassDefFoundError you can get slightly confused.
Please use anything else than "target/...". My suggestion would be
".eclipse-build".
