Eric, maybe I'm missing something in your use case, but if you think
that the eclipse generator should automatically handle this, then it
is relevant here.

If not, then please explain why this is a specific issue for your use
case that shouldn't be handled generally.

If this (the Rebuild) solves Antoine's problem, then it seems to me
that would solve it from an IDE stand-point, but the generator should
include this automatically (see my other reply to this thread).
