Hi,

I am wandering what is the preferred componentType of Eclipse projects
(not plug-in/osgi bundles).

We have no generic 'eclipse.project' type so that depends on what you're doing instead.
The best way is probably to add a buckminster.cspec to your project and then use the
component type 'buckminster' but if you have a maven POM then using the maven component
type might be a good idea.

I am currently using buckminster.cspec do define component dependencies.
It struck me however, that while doing that, I have (at least) 2 places
where my dependencies are declared - in eclipse project build path
settings and buckminster.cspec. (3, if you consider that build.xml also
needs to know those things)

It is no big problem to copy the dependencies from project classpath to
buckminster.cspec when initially defining the specifications, but it
becomes a nightmare to maintain with a host of developers banging away
at components. Everybody who is touching these projects may change the
dependencies and thus *must* remember to update the listing in cspec as
well. People being just people, tend to forget it.

Any way - I got my answer - there is no such component type at the
moment that would infer the dependencies from java project classpath...
