Thanks for picking up on this.

I have a Bazaar branch of Gant.  The Ant and Gant builds etc. work fine.
I create a project in Eclipse pointing at the Bazaar branch.  I also do
the same with NetBeans and IntelliJ IDEA.  So all mechanisms of working
are actually using the same source.  The Eclipse control files are
stored in the branch so the source tree is an Eclipse project.

I switch off automatic building as I know this is problematic until
there has been a clean build of Gant.  I then do a clean of the project
to get rid of everything in ~/bin and ~/bin-groovy.  NetBeans and
IntelliJ IDEA use different directories for their compilation products
so there is no conflict, bin and bin-groovy are Eclipse directories --
the Ant and Gant build compile into target.

I then do a build on the project.  This compiles the Java which has
errors because there are dependencies on Groovy files.  The Groovy files
are then compiled.  A second compile should now work since the Groovy
files compiled fine so the Java files can compile.  This seems to be
what happens with Eclipse 3.3.2 but no it seems in 3.4.

Hopefully this gives you all the info you are looking for to help solve
this conundrum.

Thanks.
