Eclipse -- An Output Folder for each Src Folder. Possible?

Hello,

I'm attempting to mirror an ant build in eclipse--I've got two source
trees that each compile to a different output folder--I'd like to do
the same in Eclipse. Unfortunately, it seems like all src folders are
forced to the same output folder.

Is there any way to work around this? Maybe a manual attribute or
property in classpathentry (.classpath)?

Thanks,

Ed

I think you can solve your problem by creating each source tree as a separate
project. Eclipse will let you specify a separate output folder for each
project. You can then tell Eclipse that project A references Project B -- look
in Project->Properties->Project References for each project.

In the properties-dialog for the java build path on the page "Source" there
is a checkbox "Allow output folders for source folders". When you check
this, there is an additional attribute for each source path that you can
set.

I think this feature was added with Eclipse 2.1, don't know if it is still
available and if the UI changed.

Regards, Georg
