How to put Xtext project into version control system [message #692829]

Hi all,

I am a beginner for Xtext as well as eclipse projects. I am currently using Xtext to build an IDE for language ATS (www.ats-lang.org). I have finished encoding the grammar and figured out how to add syntax highlighting as well as outline for the IDE. So I am thinking about put the project onto ATS community so that more people can work with me. For that, I have to publish my project first. I am planning to use git. But I don't know what is the best way to publish an Xtext project so that people can easily work together. For C project, I just check in C source file and Makefile. But for eclipse plugin project, I am a totally beginner. Shall I clean all the projects in the workspace and check in the whole workspace including the projects for example.mydsl, example.mydsl.ui and example.mydsl.tests so that people can simply checkout and open the whole workspace?

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

You should go the same thing as a Java project. You need to check in everything except directories:

bin/
and
.settings
from your project's directory.

Hi,

if you are not yet familiar with Eclipse plugin development, I'd
recommend to install EGit and choose share from the team menu. I can
imagine that they have reasonable default settings for plugins.

Sebastian

Thanks a lot for your advice.

I am learning to use git inside eclipse now. It seems quite good.

Hi

If by "settings" you mean ".settings" you may want to review your policy.

".settings" contains many important project-specifuc settings such as
for instance UTF-8 encoding that is essential to ensure
consistent behaviour across workspaces.
