Hi Rafal,

That sounds like a good idea. After working out what the arrangement for 
things like this should be, we do then have to work out the best way to 
communicate it to a) new users of AJDT and b) users upgrading from AJDT 
1.1.x. The current thinking is to handle case b) by expanding that prefs 
screen into a migration wizard to walk you through the workspace changes 
required when upgrading from 1.1.x.

Back on the topic of building AJDT, I've just committed an update to the 
FAQ entries 4.2 and 4.3 at http://eclipse.org/ajdt/faq.html which should 
now fully cover the current situation. If you follow this through, please 
let me know of any typos or things that didn't work for you.

Thanks,

Matt.
