Unfortunately, Eclipse .classpath and .project files are *not* portable; the contents can depend on the individual Eclipse setup. In particular, unless all developers use the same default JDK as required by the project, the classpath files will vary. Also, the .project file will vary if some developers have added certain plugins, e.g. FindBugs or Maven. Having the files in SVN in the location where Eclipse expects to find them will cause problems for some developers, as they will need to modify the files locally in order to build. They cannot commit the files without causing problems for others, and so their workspace will always contain modifications. If you do wish to release IDE build files, I suggest you release them as separate files, e.g. under res/ide-support/eclipse res/ide-support/netbeans etc. The files can be named eclipse.classpath eclipse.profile as files without names can cause problems. > 14.09.2012 16:46 пользователь "Jim Jagielski" <j...@jagunet.com> написал: > >> >> On Sep 14, 2012, at 5:02 AM, Mohammad Nour El-Din <nour.moham...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >> > >> > But can we add ASL headers to files which are defined and considered >> > to be, even structure wise (please correct me if I am wrong), under >> > the license of Eclipse ? >> > >> >> If they are build artifacts (like stuff created by autoconf >> for example), then there's no need to add AL headers (AL, not ASL). >> AL headers are for actual work products (like source code, etc)... >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
