Eclipse CDT static resources under build folder

Question

This should be a silly question, but after a hour of implementing following idea I ended up here.

So, I'm building my C++ project under Eclipse and my release folder should include a static folder with some files inside it, that are required by executable during runtime. The problem is that before actual build this release folder is completely wiped out and I'm losing all the files inside it.

Answer 1

Solution is simple - need to place rm.exe from mingw utilites on path and Eclipse will delete only specific build files instead of removing entire release folder.
