    eclipse project files

      Currently there are checked in eclipse project settings (.settings/*, .project/*, ...). Does that really make sense? I would prefer to remove them from the repository and ignore them in the future.

          All jboss projects that I know of have eclipse IDE settings in SVN. The idea is, that you can checkout a project, import it into Eclipse and start with what you actually want to do. Is there any particular issue with this?

            I run mvn eclipse:eclipse to generate the eclipse projects and therefore I always have a lot of modified eclipse project files in my working copy. In this special case it would be more comfortable to have them ignored.

             

            So generally I am okay with checked in project files but I think mvn eclipse:eclipse would be a good alternative to ensure a eclipse "quickstart" and a clean repository.

              Use m2eclipse, the eclipse files are configured for that.
