Some community members (really) dislike having the clutter in the root of the repository. Some IDEs are worse than others for this (IDEA seems to be one of the better ones). There was a shortish debate on this about 10 years ago and we decided that the res-ide-support approach was the compromise we could all live with. I dislike the clutter but I agree your views on the disadvantages. That is why I have never used them. I view them as reasonable starting points for relatively new Java developers who new to the Tomcat project. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
