I haven't seen any response to this other than from Kshitiz.
Chris, Jennifer, do you think it would be more appropriate to generate
backup and sync-bundles into the generated directory by default since
that is where other GlassFish generated files go?
It seems inconsistent to me to look in generated for one type of file
and then in special purpose directories for the other files.
There are also subdirectories under generated (ejb, jsp, policy, xml).
Maybe sync and backups should be subdirectories under generated?
