The main purpose of the .project file is to set the project name and the main purpose of the .classpath file is to set the dependencies. It really depends on what you need, but I would suggest that checking those files into source control would make life simpler. Or if you want to build them using Ant and have no dependencies, just write a target that outputs the proper XML. If you have a number of dependencies, then you'll need to construct the .classpath to reference those dependencies (i.e. JAR files).
