I’m a .Net guy and used to csproj/vbproj files being the central repository for all folders/files in a .Net project.
What’s the equivalent in Java explorer in Eclipse IDE? Where does it store the folders/resources and their physical paths etc?
There are a few files involved.
.projectand.classpathcover the main important features, and the.settingsdirectory includes project-specific settings (e.g. different compiler warning levels etc).Note that unlike Visual Studio solutions, Eclipse doesn’t specify each and every file to compile: it assumes that if there’s a
.javafile underneath a source folder, it should be compiled. This makes life a lot easier in terms of diffs to project files… once set up, the project files in Eclipse rarely change, whereas they change every time someone adds or removes a file in Visual Studio 🙁
