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,

        I have a very basic question. 
         
How are .cproject and .project files used? 
What is the information they contain? 
         
Thanks 
Padam
