[orbit-dev] Confirmation of need for "ouput..=."?

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

With the new M4-ish Eclipse IDE, there
is better checking of build.properties values. 

One of those "errors" says 

The folder "." does not exist
in the workspace

where ever we have 
output..=.

in our build.properties files. 

But we do still need those output directives
there, right?

I think this was to work around some PDE
bug, but I couldn't find reference to it. 

Anyone know if its still a bug, and we
still need the work around? 

I mostly wanted to make sure Orbit committers
didn't start removing them, since after all, Eclipse says its an error!
:) 

Unless its ok to remove now?!
