Rename the ".metadata" directory [message #251502] Thu, 13 March 2008 11:16

Hi Guys,

I've been using Eclipse succesfully for Java development (Windows
platform) for several years. Recently I installed FolderClone to perform a
backup of all project data at the end of each day.
Unfortunately I've found that FolderClone can't handle the ".metadata"
directory and hence can't backup any of the information contained in this
dir. I've contacted the FolderClone support team but they claim that this
is actually an invalid directory since a directory in windows are
forbidden to start with a ".". Therefore they are unwilling to do anything
about this issue so instead I was hoping it would be possible to change
the name of this directory to just "metadata". Anyone know if this is
possible?

Cheers,
/Eddie
