java - Should I keep my project files under version control? -
should keep project filesm eclipse's .project, .classpath, .settings, under version control (e.g. subversion, github, cvs, mercurial, etc)?
you want keep in version control any portable setting files,
meaning:
file has no absolute path in it.
includes:
- .project,
- .classpath (if no absolute path used, possible use of ide variables, or user environment variables)
- ide settings (which disagree 'accepted' answer). settings includes static code analysis rules vitally important enforce consistently user loading project his/her workspace.
- ide specific settings recommandations must written in big readme file (and versionned of course).
rule of thumb me:
must able load project workspace , have in need set in ide , going in minutes.
no additional documentation, wiki pages read or not.
load up, set up, go.
