| Hi, Padam, 
 The .project file contains the metadata required by the Eclipse
Platform (and IDE infrastructure) to recognize and work with a
project.  This includes, for example,
 
 - identification of project natures (which relate to tool-specific
project capabilities)
 - registration of project builders
 - definition of virtual resources and linked resources
 - dependencies on other projects
 
 The .cproject file contains the metadata required by CDT to recognize
and work with a C/C++/ObjC/whatever project.  This comprises mostly the
C build settings and scanner/discovery configuration that you see in
the C/C++ project properties pages, but can be used by CDT extensions
to store practically any metadata about the project that they require.
 
 HTH,
 
 Christian

 How are .cproject and .project files used?
 What is the information they contain?
 
 Thanks
