Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 24

What happened

A new unwanted directory is appearing in the build directory and so being included in the .war file

/build/web/WEB-INF/classesa/NetbeansProjects/jaffa/build/web/javascript/[various files here]

The folder contains files that are generated and written to the web directory during the build.

If I subsequently edit files in under the web directory of the project they start to appear in the classesa directory with additional directory tree structure

Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component

java ant web application project

How to reproduce

The directory /build/web/WEB-INF/classesa/ is created and populated with files when I do a clean build.

In my build I am compacting and merging javascript files and copying them to the web/javascript directory which seems to trigger adding the classesa directory during the build...

When files under the web directory are subsequently modified the classesa directory gets added to with the jsp files I have edited.

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know

Operating System
