Eclipse in Source Control(Question inside)... [message #723077] Wed, 07 September 2011 11:01 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
So I've started a project and have it in my Mercurial repository, also using Linux.

The question I have is, is there a list of files that are safe to ignore in source control?

I've got .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.history/* added to the ignore list right now with no problems. I basically want only the files necessary for eclipse to function properly across multiple computers in the repository.

Thanks

You don't want to version-control your workspace (and therefore
..metadata, etc.), but only your individual projects. (My opinion,
obviously.)

For the projects themselves, I can offer the musings on the page below
that I wrote for Git. What I say will apply for Mercurial too.

Thanks for the help. Yeah, my project is a PHP project, so my site's folder is my project. I didn't know how to make my workspace include the source of a folder somewhere else on the file system using import which is why I thought I was limited to having to put the workspace in source control. Now that I know this, I can just remove my workspace from the source control and be done with it. Smile

Doesn't Mercurial have a plugin for Eclipse? That would make it easy to
manage scm actions from within Eclipse.
