include .project and .classpath in cvs commit? [message #213328]

Why does the FAQ suggest this?

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-vcm-home
/docs/online/cvs_features2.0/cvs-faq.html#misc_1

I created an Eclipse Java project at work and checked it in. Now I am at
home and I checked it out.

Can I build? No.

The "JRE System Library" that was created when with the project at work
does not work at home. My disk names are different and so nothing builds.

Further I am fairly new at this, so I cannot seem to find how to either
re-create the JRE System Library, or copy it from another project which
was created here. I tried creating another project which inckuded it and
adding that project to my build dependencies, but that did not work
either.

Why would anyone suggest that something machine-specific shoud get
checked in? Seems like a good way to screw with your co-workers....

Certainly, you should be careful not to put machine specific information
in the settings for a shared project.

I've been sharing .project and .classpath files for a couple years now,
and there were some hiccups at first as my teammates and I figured out
what was and was not local, but I have never had a problem with the JRE
system library.

On the other hand, I've always had my project just use the workspace
default JRE, specifically because I wouldn't want others to have to name
their JREs the same way I name mine.

Try using the default JRE for your projects and you should be fine.

The classpath of the project should just reference the classpath variable
that is automatically defined when you configure your standard JRE.

I don't know what went wrong with your project, but it's certainly not the
way it should be.

Take care, Ilja
