This is a single file that is populated from the Maven environment, so that we don't need to run sed to find/replace the release version hard-coded in our code and documentation. This saves work and means that our documentation can accurately represent the version they are documenting. (There've been cases in the past where the version was arbitrarily replaced, but the behavior the documentation about that version was not updated, so the documentation was simply wrong. This keeps the documention correct, but still has the potential to be out of date... which is a separate issue.)
Updating the maven project in Eclipse will cause it to resolve some Eclipse plugins that work with the build-helper-maven-plugin to add an additional source directory for compiling. However, you can add this source directory manually, if you wish, to get it to compile. It doesn't affect the build... the error is just an IDE issue, and only if you don't refresh the project (in Eclipse) and/or add an additional source directory (for other IDE's... which I can't provide assistance for). -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 5:54 PM, John Vines <vi...@apache.org> wrote: > Wait, what is this src/main/java-filtered source directory all about?! > > > On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 4:34 PM, John Vines <vi...@apache.org> wrote: > >> Have you tried reimporting into your IDE? >> >> >> On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 4:22 PM, Keith Turner <ke...@deenlo.com> wrote: >> >>> Recently org.apache.accumulo.core.Constants stopped compiling in eclipse >>> because FilteredConstants is not found.
