Eclipse IDE Files in CVS [message #20697]

We had an existing project under CVS control that was being build with ANT.
Now we have an Eclipse project which is integrated with the same CVS and the
same ANT build file we have always used. The only new files are .project
and .classpath so I assume that we can check those in and we will have a
complete Eclipse project ready for check out?

TIA

I'm no expert, but I think there is a .metadata folder as well. These are
all, by default, added to .cvsignore, too. And this may store machine
specific context, so it may not work this way. (FWIW I really like how
Eclipse stores it's project info - very clean.)

The .metadata folder contains information specific to a users workspace.
I don't believe that this is usually checked into source code control. It
would prevent developers from customizing their Eclipse to suit their
needs.

Also .metadata is not under the project at all. It is stored in an
entirely separate location and not considered to be part of the project.
So it can never be checked in.

Thanks for the clarification guys. I will check in the .project and
..classpath and give the clean checkout a shot on another machine.

Sorry, didn't mean to steer anyone wrong. I should have refreshed my memory
before posting.
