Description pulliamd 2005-08-26 03:24:37 UTC

This is an request for an enhancement to make it easier to test Java
Applications.  I am working with applications that require data files that my
java application must read in order to work.  I would like to see the ability to
specify required files that need to be in the same directory as the running code
and have the IDE automatically make the necessary new copies/sync existing
copies from original location to the location to the location where the project
code is run from when testing from inside the ide when the project is compiled.
 Maybe by adding a new root level grouping (like Test Package, Libraries, etc)
called "Data Files" that would contain the data files that need to be copied in
order for the Java Application being developed to run.
