Preferences lastWarOutDir is not updated
A small annoyance. The lastWarOutDir is no longer being updated in com.google.gdt.eclipse.core.prefs. We have a cross platform team and this prefs file is actually being shared between workspaces, but it used to function that this file would be updated whenever dev mode was run, it is no longer being updated and I have ended up with an invalid file path for linux due to it being committed by a windows user and the plugin creating the lastWarOutDir everytime it runs.
If this value is no longer being used, I would suggest that in the latest versions of the plugin it should be ignored, directory should not be created, it should not be updated.
Super trivial annoyance at this point.
I have removed the value from my local copy of the file to stop the directory from being created.
Taking a look at the code, it appears that the lastWarOutDir may only be being used if the project has a maven nature?
I'm going to need to figure out how you're project is configured. Is it a standard Java, ant, maven or other? I remember touching this variable at some point, but I can't remember what it's controlling yet. But if I can replicate the config, I can figure out a better approach.
We use a standard Java project for Eclipse development with the Dynamic Web Module and GWT facets (now that the GWT facet is available, some of our old projects may not have been updated with the GWT facet yet). No maven or ant scripts are run through eclipse.
Thanks for the info. I'll have to figure out a test for standard project setup.
