Re: [platform-vcm-dev] does .project need to be checked into the repository
|
You have to add .project and .classpath to the repository. The .project
file defines the project natures (java project, pde project etc.) and the
builders (java builder etc.). If you don't commit the .project, upon
checkout to a different workstation, eclipse will create a default one
without that information and you won't have a java project.
The .classpath defines the build dependencies of the project. While I think
that if should be possible to run without having it synced to cvs (not sure
about it though as I never tried), it'll be much more convenient for the
other developers if you do so. Otherwise they have to setup the classpath
themselves.
Greetings,
