It contains multiple src.dir entries to demonstrate the problem.

Quite a few projects within our CAPSEECoreSuite have a layout such that their source code are located in different source sub-folders, for example, the CME project has the following three source sub-folders:

model/src/java
module/src/java
view/src/java

The build used to work fine with NetBeans 6.8 and previous versions. It fails now with NetBeans 6.9 obviously because it doesn't even look into the two extra src.dir.

Api support project.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2010-05-13 13:39:34 UTC 
I don't know how such a setup happened to work in the past, but it is wrong. Please read harness/README about <extra-compilation-unit>s, which you are responsible for compiling yourself using custom build.xml targets. But in this case it is likely that you should simply be splitting up the project into several modules, one for each source root, in which case you can precisely control classpath and dependencies for each root; <e-c-u>s are generally discouraged except for very specific purposes (such as building ant/nblib/*.jar).
