Vladimir Nicolici commented on MECLIPSE-469:
--------------------------------------------

I was very surprised to find this bug marked as "won't fix". I can't even vote for it.

If there isn't an easy solution, you should at least notify the Eclipse user that he/she should set the flag himself/herself, to avoid problems with searches and commits. It took me some time before I discovered how to set the derived flag from the UI.

For an explanation on how to set this flag with the API, look here:

I also think the flag should set in the project, not in the workspace, but the Eclipse guys seem to have a different philosophy regarding the nature of the derived flag.

> Eclipse has the notion of "derived resources", which are normally excluded from many dialogs like the "Open Resource" dialog (Ctrl-Shift-R). Without this marker, all those dialogs would be cluttered with unrelevant files (which can't be edited anyway because they will be overwritten on the next build).
> Unfortunately, unlike Eclipse itself, "mvn eclipse:eclipse" does not mark generated files as derived. A good candidate would be the entire contents of the "target" directory.
