Description Neeraj Agrawal CLA 2005-08-08 16:16:52 EDT 
1. Create a Java project(Foo) with the default options, so the default source 
folder is root.

2.Set the output folder to Foo/output

3. Compile the project

4. You will see  .project and .classpath copied to the output folder

This seems to be defect since only the .class files should be copied to the 
output folder.

All extra resources in each source folder are copied to the output folder.

Create an explicit source folder inside the project or leave the project as the output folder if you do not want these files copied.
