[che-dev] Changing the project metadata folder name to ".che"

["Okman, Lior" <lior.okman@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

 

When using the Eclipse Che default project manager implementation, the resulting files are saved in a “.codenvy” folder saved in the root of the project. I would like to suggest that this be changed from “.codenvy” to “.che” in order to not tie filenames created without the Codenvy part to Codenvy.

 

I’ve submitted two pull-requests to this effect, one on the che-core repository (https://github.com/codenvy/che-core/pull/89) and the other in the che-plugins repository (https://github.com/codenvy/che-plugins/pull/131 - this pull-request depends on changes made in the che-core repository).

 

The pull-requests also fix usages of the “.codenvy” string literally, instead of using the relevant constant in the projects API, and add some compatibility code so that accessing a project that has a “.codenvy” folder instead of a “.che” folder will not fail.
