Java Forum / Tools / September 2003Eclipse is deliting my ".class" files from project
I am new with Eclipse, I was using Forte. I like it because it is faster, specially the debugger. But I have problems with it. I have an old project with great number of classes but with no source. When I open new project in Eclipse, and put dir with old project as project dir, it deletes all the ".class" files. Even when I create project, and copy class from backup, then go to project to do "refresh" it deletes ".class" files. Can I turn off this option somehow? If not, can you tell me the solutions for this problem? How about putting them into a JAR? robert > I am new with Eclipse, I was using Forte. I like it because it is > faster, specially the debugger.

Don't keep them in the same area as your output or your class files. Keep them in a separate directory under your project, and add that directory to the build path.

If not, can you tell me the solutions for this problem? I had the same problem with it. I tried Eclipse hoping for a better-performing IDE than JBuilder, but eventually gave up on it. Too complicated, and too many nasty surprises like this one. I keep looking at it to see if it's improved, but I guess it hasn't. Dave There are several ways to do it - use a separate directory for your class-files and add it to the projects build path - jar the classes into a jar-file and add it to the projects build path (I would recommend this) - under preferences you can opt to not delete build-folders on complete rebuilds (exactly what you are asking, but I do not recommend it - clean builds are a good thing to do from time to time ) hope this helps, Manfred http://www.regele.org > I am new with Eclipse, I was using Forte.
