Hi there,

I’m using TortoiseSVN as my subversion client, which as you know puts hidden .svn folders in every directory that is under version control.

I have excluded my WEB-INF/classes directory from version control.
The problem is that whenever I build my project, it seems that MyEclipse gets the hidden .svn folders located under my /src directory and sends them to WEB-INF/classes directory along with the compiled .class files, thus causing TortoiseSVN to behave very strangely!

I’ve solved the problem temporarily by using an exclusion pattern (**/.svn/ ) for my source folder. However, I was wondering, shouldn’t ME exclude hidden .svn folders from the build process by default? Am I doing something wrong regarding project set up and configuration?

Many thanks,
Dimitris

Dimitris,
Can you go to Windows > Prefs > Java > Compiler > Building > Output Folder and uncheck “Scrub output folder when cleaning projects”. Does it still create the file ?

[Dimitris]

Yes, unfortunately it still creates the file with “Scrub output folder when cleaning projects” unchecked. Only the **/.svn/ exlusion pattern seems to be working so far.

Thanks,
Dimitris

Dimitris,
Unless you are using a subversion plugin inside MyEclipse (like subclipse or subversive) MyEclipse doesn’t know that you are using source control. I believe if you begin using either of those two plugins inside the IDE the team support will implicitly ignore that files from building.

[Dimitris]

OK, I’ll check using subclipse as soon as possible and post back.

Thanks,
Dimitris

Hi there,

You were right. I just installed subclipse, removed the exclusion pattern and everything now seems to work properly (so far at least 🙂

Many thanks,
Dimitris
