Can you tell me which features do not work or are impacted if the class 
files are somewhere else ?

Hmm... all NetBeans modules are compiled this way; classes are separated 
in the module packaging step. I'm pretty sure you can configure your CVS 
clients to ignore these classes -- create ~/.cvsignore, or put *.class 
to mdr module's .cvsignore (in the mdr project's root dir), they should 
honour it. Do not know about Emacs.
