Yes this is a limitation of Subclipse. Assuming I understand what you
mean. If both of these:
/root
/root/deploy
Are loaded into your Eclipse workspace as Projects then Subclipse does
not handle that. We get in some kind of recursive update of the
status of the files. This is because /root/deploy is also essentially
under the /root project.
http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=511
Note that issue is RESOLVED, but there were two issue spun off it that
still apply.
You should be able to have the /root/deploy project disconnected from
Subclipse, and then manage it via its existence in the /root project.
