Description arne anka

2009-03-19 13:02:07 EDT

i got two projects, A and B.
from A i build a jar (say, A.jar) which is copied to B and part of B#s build path.
while the build path has no problems accepting frequently new built versions of the A.jar, every time i rebuild it, the source attachment to A.jar is lost.

instead of fastening the source attachment (and javadoc probably too) to the actual jar-file, a more abstract way would be nice, alowing to replace the jar-file with a newer version but keeping all those additional informations.
