I object this for couple of reasons. 1. There are lot of non-eclipse users who are checking out/in code (FYI : most of the axiom devs are *not* using eclipse). So why bother we checking out eclipse junk :) 2. As Ajith also had already mentioned, maven helps you to generate the relevant IDE specific stuff. 3. Some one can declare a variable in Eclipse, pointing to his folder and can accidentally commit that in to svn. 4. If some one is having a customized version of .project and .classpath files, they always gets conflicts, which is un-necessary, IMO. 5. None or most of the WS project do not have IDE specific committed so far. Eg : Axis2, axiom, neethi, etc., Hope those reasons will help to justify not to commit IDE specific stuff in to the code. -- Chinthaka
