I've been developing a custom Eclipse help plugin using DITA OT 2.3.1.  I then upgraded to DITA OT 2.4.3 (on another machine), and my output gains extra folder depth that I didn't expect.  What have I overlooked?  I'd like the output folder structure to remain as it was for 2.3.1.

DITA 2.3.1 Output:

[my_help]
commonltr.css
myHelp.css
plugin.xml
myditamap.xml
index.xml
-- [Concepts]
-- [Images]
-- [Reference]
-- [Tasks]
-- [Topics]

I set the output.dir: 
<property name="output.dir" location="${dita.dir}${file.separator}..${file.separator}MyOutput${file.separator}testMyEclipseOLHPlugin${file.separator}my_help"/> 

DITA OT 2.4.3 Output:

[my_help]
commonltr.css
myHelp.css
plugin.xml
-- [source_dir_name]
-- -- myditamap.xml
-- -- index.xml
-- -- [Concepts]
-- -- [Images]
-- -- [Reference]
-- -- [Tasks]

I set the output.dir:
<property name="output.dir" location="${dita.dir}${file.separator}..${file.separator}dita_output${file.separator}my_help"/>  

For this build, I set generate.copy.outer because without it, the output copies my [Images] folder to a subfolder of a folder that is parallel with the [my_help] folder -- which doesn't work at all. 
<property name="generate.copy.outer" value="3"/>
