Morten Hattesen edited comment on MECLIPSE-469 at 4/16/09 7:45 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Another consequence of not having the target folder marked as derived, is that you eaily risk committing the target folder to a repository (cvs/svn). If the target folder is marked as "derived", cvs and svn plugins will ignore the resource, and not offer to add/commit the resource. If you create a new project using [New/Project.../New Maven project] then run a maven build, and/or [Maven/Update Project Configuration], and then [Team/Add to version control/Commit...] then the target folder will be committed to the repository (possibly along with classes/resources) - not a desirable situation! The only workaround currently, is to remember to mark the target folder "Team/Add to svn:ignore" (using SubClipse), before committing. was (Author: mortenhattesen): Another consequence of not having the target folder marked as derived, is that you eaily risk committing the target folder to a repository (cvs/svn).
