What is the purpose of the '.deployables' directory?

The the .deployables directory is an exploded view of you project. This
the area that Tomcat or another server would use, if you run you project
local. Eclipse keeps this directory in-sync with your project using the
a couple special builders.

Since the directory starts with . you cannot see it in the Java or the
J2EE Project views. You don't want this directory in CVS and Eclipse
should be smart enough to know this, but at the moment it does not. I'm
pretty sure that this is a know bug.

HTH,

The flexible project structure allows certain pieces of what your
project builds to come from other projects. The ".deployables"
directory is where all the pieces from this project and others are
collected into an appropriate directory structure.

For example, you can create a Dynamic Web Project and a Java Project.
In the Dynamic Web Project open the Properties dialog and select Java
Jar Dependencies. Check the checkbox for the Java Project and close the
Properties dialog. Now building the Dynamic Web Project includes
creating a jar from the Java Project and including it in the WEB-INF/lib
under the ".deployables" directory.

Cheers,
Larry

after building a couple times. AFAICT, there's no way to filter that.

have a look at the thread "Ctrl-Shift-R shows files in .deployables" in
this newsgroup - I think your problem is discussed there!

Hope it helps,
Nils
