Description

In Apache Shingig we have more than one language using a set of resources (PHP and Java), so the resources are stored on disk in a relative path.

In the jars we have
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<targetPath>features</targetPath>
<directory>${basedir}/../../features</directory>
</resource>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/../../javascript/</directory>
<targetPath>/gadgets/files</targetPath>
<includes>
<include>*/.*</include>
</includes>
</resource>

etc

which results in a .classpath

shroud:~/Caret/sakai22/devcode/shindig-trunk ieb$ more java/server/.classpath
<classpath>
<classpathentry kind="src" path="/Users/ieb/Caret/sakai22/devcode/shindig-trunk/config" output="target/classes/containers/default" including="container.js" excluding="*/.java"/>
<classpathentry kind="src" path="/Users/ieb/Caret/sakai22/devcode/shindig-trunk/features" output="target/classes/features" excluding="*/.java"/>
<classpathentry kind="src" path="/Users/ieb/Caret/sakai22/devcode/shindig-trunk/javascript" output="target/classes/gadgets/files" including="*/." excluding="/.java"/>
<classpathentry kind="output" path="target/classes"/>
<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
<classpathentry kind="var" path="M2_REPO/org/apache/abdera/abdera-core/0.4.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT/abdera-core-0.4.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="var" path="M2_REPO/org/apache/abdera/abdera-i18n/0.4.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT/abdera-i18n-0.4.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT.jar"/>

The first 3 entries are invalid as they are outside the project space the eclipse project.

Since this breaks the eclipse build, I am classifying this as a bug.... you might want to reclassify.

The work around is simple, but it generating questions on the list and resulting in people not wanting to use the eclipse plugin.
