Views.properties file dissapearing in Eclipse - Help

[jpwinans]

Hey all,

I'm having a problem where, no matter what project I'm working on, the views.properties file keeps dissapearing from the WEB-INF/classes folder in Eclipse.
If I catch it in time, I can recover it from the history, but otherwise it's just gone! Has anyone experienced anything like this, and if so, how do you fix it?

Thanks,
James

Is the properties file also located in your source directory? If not, it will be deleted since Eclipse automatically deletes and rebuilds your classes (output) directory as part of the build process. Instead, put the properties file in your source tree so that Eclipse will automatically copy it to the corresponding output location during the build process. i.e. src/pkg/view.properties will end up in classes/pkg/view.properties..

Hope that helps,

Brilliant. Thanks, for some reason, the examples I was working off of did not include the view.properties in the src directory, so I didn't even think about it.

Thanks,
James
