XML files excluded from build

[cmathrusse]

I've upgraded to Ganymede and everything seemed to be fine until I attempted to create a new Dynamic Web Project. I have some Spring xml files within my project that I want copied into my build directory at compile time but it appears that Ganymede does not want to let this happen.

My project structure is as follows:
ProjectName
|--src
|--config
|--WebContent
|--|--WEB-INF
|--|--|--lib
|--|--|--classes

I have both the src and config folders defined as source directories. Ganymede compiles my .java files into .class files and outputs them into the WebContent/WEB-INF/classes directory but does not copy the .xml files into the classes directory. Surprisingly it does copy the directory structure from the config directory, including all the .properties files that are contained within, but for some reason the .xml files are excluded. I have not exclusion filters defined for the source folders. In fact, the dialog shows that all files are included.

So does anyone have a solution for this? With Europa, everything worked as expected.

Thanks for the help...

I have the same problem.
Is this a known bug?

My resolution to this issue was to completely reinstall Ganymede and rebuild my workspace from scratch. I was unable to find any other solution that worked. I did this in desperation so I could move forward. Something seemed to have gotten corrupted in my Eclipse installation because rebuilding my workspace did not resolve the issue. It was only after I reinstalled Eclipse and rebuild my workspace did the problem get resolved.

I hope this helps...

I´ve just tried to create a new workspace and worked.

Hello,

i had the same problem today. So i tried the workaround described by "cmathrusse". First it worked but after a certain time the problem occured again. I did not made changes to the project. The only thing i have done is to build the project again after i had deleted it from the package explorer (not from the drive) and then imported it again. Is this a eclipse bug? I am not able to work with this unpredictable problem. Does anyone know more about and how to avoid this problem?

"Change the Java/Compiler/Building preference, and remove *.xml from the filtered resources."
