[xwiki-dev] Errors building in eclipse

[Dan Murphy]

Hi Marc,
The .classpath and build.xml should are more or less independent... Having
the .classpath correct means I can rely on Eclipse's automatic build to
compile the classes without needing to run the ant script. As I suspect you
already know, per the smiley, the .classpath doesn't effect ant (AFAIK
anyway)

Thanks for the tips on the junit and ant - I'll try this as I'm sure one day
I'll need to run the unit tests :)

Cheers,
Dan
