Should we or should we not check in the classes folder in WEB-INF directory into SVN?
- by Vatsala
I use SVN, and am learning how to use it along with eclipse IDE. The first time I add classes to my package, there is no problem, the generated class files get into SVN smoothly. The moment I edit them, I get this message - "WEB-INF/classes" is obstructed. I try the "clean-up" command and the clean up command says "WEB-INF/classes" folder is locked.
I use TortoiseSVN as my SVN client.
I know why this is happening. It probably because the Eclipse overwrites all the files while generating classes and then causes this -
Is it inappropriate to commit the class files into SVN? If not, what should I do to commit these class files smoothly?
