Also, the files are not necessarily the same for all users. For example, the classpath file may have a different JRE entry if the Eclipse default does not match the Tomcat default. Also, the local classpath file may have entries for source and javadoc jars. The project file may be different between users. E.g. if the project is set up to include additional features such as PMD or Findbugs etc. these will be added to the project file. How about adding the following starter files to SVN/source archives: eclipse.classpath eclipse.project These can be documented in the "eclipse.readme" file or similar. > Best regards, > Konstantin Kolinko > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
