Description Curtis Windatt CLA 2010-09-03 14:30:03 EDT 
The fix for bug 322572 will move the code that scans directories/installations into the api tooling core bundle.  The directory option on the launch config is the only place in api tooling where we explicitly scan a directory and not treat it as an installation.

If the behaviour needs to stay this way, we should add comments to the code and update the help doc to explicitly describe its behaviour (as it differs from the preference page).

If we can change the behaviour, we can either reuse the same code the preference page uses or delete the option entirely (if forcing the user to create a baseline or target definition on the preference page is not too onerous).

Possible fix

This fix changes the createBaseline method to use the code introduced in bug 322572.
Comment 2 Curtis Windatt CLA 2010-09-03 15:56:59 EDT 
If we are changing the behaviour of the ant tasks, it makes sense to change the behaviour of the launch config.
Comment 3 Darin Wright CLA 2010-09-07 12:26:21 EDT 
This was fixed with bug 322572.
