Question

I seem to have an issue.

I wanted to add some additional config info into project.properties in an android project but i notice when i open it there are comments telling me not to edit it

Is it safe to edit

Would it get regenerated at some point so i would lose my changes?

Is there an alternative?

EDIT

Somebody suggested looking here https://developer.android.com/tools/projects/index.html

which states

project.properties This file contains project settings, such as the
build target. This file is integral to the project, so maintain it in
a source revision control system. To edit project properties in
Eclipse, right-click the project folder and select Properties.

but i found no reference at all about editing properties in eclipse

Any ideas?

it seems google thinks you should be able to do it

Answer 1

Please see this info. The project.properties file should be edited using eclipse. Select project -> properties -> Android.
