[wtp-dev] Project Metadata changes for 1.5


Normally when metadata file changes occur, announcements are not required,
but because the ".component" file doesn't have a complete tooling story yet, end users may need to be aware of its existence for advanced scenarios.

Note:  No action is required - the changes will occur automatically to existing workspaces, projects.

I am about to release a fix for

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=119587

Which calls for a few changes to the ".component" metadata file including:
        1) Adding version tag that allows the evolution of schema changes that may be required.
        2) Renaming this file to follow the eclipse naming convensions of .settings files

Naming convension info is here:  
        http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Naming_Conventions
        Look under the header: System Files and Settings

Thanks - This change will go into this weeks WTP RC2 build
