[platform-vcm-dev] does .project need to be checked into the repository

["Matt Munz" <mmunz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

  I'm an eclipse newbie and I'd like to get started with the platform by
using the CVS interaction functionality.  I have been able to browse, and
create a project out of my repository's contents.

  I noticed that the project creation process generated a project descriptor
(.project), and that the GUI indicates that this file is not in sync with
the repository (looks like ">.project").  Do I need to check this file in?
What will happen if I don't -- does the VCM system require that .project
files are in sync between developers, or are they allowed to differ?
